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.”
