It’s pleasing to see that companies are increasingly becoming aware of and are adopting an ethos of work-life balance.
Whilst a balanced lifestyle may seem to be elusive at times, a survey commissioned by Tate, specialists in office support recruitment, has revealed that 86% of the 308 people surveyed say that their employer supports their work life balance.
Jo Edwards, Tate’s Managing Director says, “Where, in most cases, salaries have remained steady throughout the year, we have seen an increase in businesses reviewing benefits schemes to retain their staff and paying particular attention to the importance of family friendly practices.”
Whilst there is often a cost attached for businesses that endorse a work-life balance, there are many more beneficial advantages such as increased productivity and reduced absences.
