Abstract
In this chapter, the constructs of work-family balance, work-family conflict, work-life balance, and job burnout are defined. The chapter reflects on experiences of job burnout and work stressors (particularly work-home interface) before and after the pandemic, the related research, and how these phenomena have changed the post-COVID workplace. The importance of safety relevant to pandemic is also discussed. Some reviews on pre- and post-COVID intervention studies are provided and concluded that more innovative intervention work relevant to the post-pandemic situations should be conducted. The author recommends some practical skills to reduce job burnout and enhance work-life balance in the workplace.
