20 best companies for work-life balance

Employee work-life balance often makes headlines but not for the right reasons. Many companies fear an employee ‘revelation’ blogpost that reveals that their nine-to-five might not quite be so. These ‘exposé’ style pieces always make the news and they always leave companies scrabbling to sanitise their employer brand.

In fact, Uber – yes, they made the wrong headlines for the wrong reasons again – were hit recently by claims that they maintained a culture whereby engineers were forced to almost always be on call. This kind of poor work-life balance resulted in the ride-hail firm having to defend their workplace and HR practices.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom: some firms are soaring ahead when it comes to helping their employees strike a balance between their professional and personal lives.

A recent Glassdoor survey highlighted the firms that are helping their employees maintain a healthy work-life balance.
