The growth of the economies in the Asia-Pacific region has given rise to an important concern - work-life balance. As individuals attempt to cash in on the increased opportunities, there is always the danger of going overboard and ignoring family in the pursuit of economic success. Given the complex societies that make up the Asia-Pacific, it is not sensible to try to develop a single model that would help researchers and practitioners better understand the role that culture plays. Overall, the Asia-Pacific countries have seen tremendous change over the last decade or so, and this speed of change is not likely to abate any time soon. Clearly, human resource departments need to pro-actively address these changes and treat their policy manuals as living, breathing, documents that are able to incorporate strategies that can address the numerous challenges faced by these nations.
