Abstract

The study encapsulates a comprehensive exploration of the unique challenges faced by women working in the hotel industry. In the contemporary workplace, achieving a balance between professional responsibilities and personal life is a critical concern, particularly for female employees who encounter distinctive stressors. This review delves into the multifaceted nature of challenges confronted by female professionals within the hotel sector, analysing the interplay of workplace demands, societal expectations, and personal responsibilities. The paper underscores the significance of understanding and addressing these challenges for the holistic well-being of female employees, contributing to a more inclusive and supportive work environment. By synthesizing existing literature and empirical findings, the review aims to shed light on potential interventions and strategies that can be implemented to alleviate stress and facilitate improved work-life balance for female employees in the hotel industry. The insights garnered from this review contribute to the broader discourse on gender dynamics, stress management, and work-life balance, providing a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners in the hospitality sector.
