Striking a balance between life and work seems easy, but many haven’t figured it out yet.
Many tech moguls preach that work should become your life. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, for instance, says there should not be any trade off between life and work: "I get asked about work-life balance all the time. And my view is, that’s a debilitating phrase because it implies there’s a strict trade-off," he said. "It actually is a circle. It’s not a balance."
Other experts say too little balance between work and your personal life can lead to burnout, and working too much can even be detrimental to your health.
Some companies appeal directly to employees looking for more time outside the office. The job site Indeed crunched the numbers to find employers that offer hardworking employees opportunities to spend time for themselves.
While the list spanned numerous industries, real estate firms took most of the top spots, with Keller Williams Realty scoring #1 for the second year in a row.
Here are all the other companies that reportedly offer employees the best work-life balance:
