HR in top 10 professions for work-life balance

The issue of fostering a healthy work-life balance has gained more and more momentum in the previous months. Competing companies are routinely offering remote working and flexible hours as a means to draw in top talent.

A new survey, conducted by Glassdoor, has compiled the top 20 careers to pursue in order to balance work and life, with HR being listed twice in the top 10. However, the average satisfaction level rating has dropped since 2009, when it was at 3.5 on a scale from one (dissatisfied) to five (very satisfied). Now, in 2015, the average is just 3.2.

The ratings from Glassdoor’s survey are based on current and former employee reviews, with the professions being given a total score for flexible working arrangements. Each career had to have a minimum of 20 individual reviews in order to have been assessed.
