The aim of the paper is to report on the best practices evident within the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) environment regarding work-life balance. The paper will also discuss obstacles that SMEs encounter whilst attempting to adopt and deliver sustainable practices in relation to technology. For the purpose of this paper we define the word 'sustainable' as "the practice of ... creating new ways to live and prosper while ensuring an equitable, healthy future for all people and the planet" (Naturalstep.org, 2008)
