5 in 10 workers now pick employer based on work-life balance: Study

Business leaders and employees significantly disagree on the future of work and new research showed on Tuesday that 57 per cent of employees will now select an employer based on work-life balance.

The report found that global business leaders are significantly more satisfied with how they have adjusted to new working norms in the pandemic than their employees are.

While 79 per cent of organisations believe employees prefer to work in an office , only 39 per cent of employees would prefer to work from an office full time, according to NTT Ltd, a global technology and business solutions provider.
