This study examines the relationship between human resource policy and employee work-life balance in hotels in Uttarakhand, India. Using a mixed-methods approach with questionnaires and open-ended questions, data was collected from 30 employees. The findings reveal that human resource policy significantly influences work-life balance, with schedule flexibility and supportive line managers being key positive factors. Conversely, long working hours, invasion of private life, and decreased social and family time contribute to increased fatigue and stress. The study emphasizes the importance of organizational support and informal feedback in addressing work-life balance issues, highlighting the need for hotel management to reassess their human resource policies and prioritize employee well being.
