Health is generally inviolable for the achievement of sustainable development . When it comes to the health of individuals in the workplace, the problems associated with work stress are often encountered as burnout. In the workplace, burnout is said to be a product of role conflict, less family time, amongst others . The rapid changes in technology with globalization, alongside social and economic sectors led the family structure and roles within the family to separate. Additionally, since the 20th century till date, social changes have led to the inclusion of women in world of work with women joining the positions where they can decide in the labour force. The role of both work and family cannot be understated. While home and workplace could be perceived as separate domains, studies have shown that the roles at the workplace and home are complementary. Working full time in an organization and keeping the household at the same time could require a lot of coordination, support and attention.
