As one definition has it, work life

As one definition has it, work life benefits are programs
"used by employers to increase productivity and commitment by removing certain barriers that make it hard for people to strike a balance between their work and personal lives."
Examples are non salary incentives such as flexible work arrangerments, tuition assistance,
and paid time off education and community service.
