The increasing involvement of women in fieldwork roles across various industries presents unique challenges to achieving a healthy work-life balance. These roles often demand extended hours, frequent travel, and exposure to physically and emotionally taxing environments, complicating personal routines and family commitments. Gender bias, isolation, and safety concerns further exacerbate these difficulties. However, factors such as flexible organizational policies, robust personal support systems, technological advancements, and targeted training can significantly influence work-life balance. Recommendations for organizations include implementing flexible working arrangements, fostering inclusive workplace cultures, and ensuring robust safety measures. For individuals, developing time management skills, advocating for personal needs, building strong support networks, and pursuing continuous learning are crucial. By addressing these challenges and leveraging supportive factors, both organizations and individuals can enhance the work-life balance of female fieldworkers, promoting a more inclusive and equitable workforce.
