The success of any organisation is dependent on how effectively it attracts recruits, and the manner in which it motivates and retains its workforce. To cope up with the current situations, managements must be flexible enough in dealing with their workforce and ensure loyalty in their employees. In order to satisfy the employees and achieve organisational goals, the management must adopt new approaches to improve the quality of work life of employees. This paper aims to measure the factors influencing the quality of work life and the impact of quality of work life on employees’ performance. A sample of 150 employees from a textile industry was selected and the study reveals that organisational culture, training and development, compensation and rewards, and job satisfaction differ from department to department, which have great impact on the quality of work life of employees. The positive finding in this study is that there is a healthy relationship among the subordinates and superiors which leads to effective communication and cooperation. Thus, quality of work life of employees has a positive impact on productivity of the employees.
