Diarmuid Russell, head of international at Glassdoor, said: “Maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be tough in today’s environment, with ever-increasing demands on our time.

"However, as millions of UK employees head back to work after enjoying the August bank holiday, our report shows there are [organisations] that offer a good balance between their home and work life. What’s encouraging for job seekers is that there are representatives here from many industries, including recruitment, tech, finance, manufacturing and retail.”

Diarmuid Russell will be revealing the secrets behind becoming a good place to work at Employee Benefits Live in the opening keynote address on Tuesday 11 October at Olympia National, London
