Top 25 companies for work-life balance

There are many recruiting programs in school, and many students are interested in companies that provide good welfare programs to its employees.

So I choose this article to get a answer of which company provides the best welfare programs. This article is about a recommendation of top 25 companies for work-life balance. The writer of this article is giving several examples of these companies which provides work-life balance. The main idea of this article is that now days, there have been a increasing desire for workplace policies that allow employees to meet family and personal responsibilities. But these policies not only benefit the employees, but benefit also for the company by improving employee retention rates, retain its best employees, having high efficiency in work. There are also drawbacks of this work-life balance policy to the company for some reasons such as the low opportunity to hire new workers since the existing workers never leave its workplace. The article wraps up the article with giving few ideas how to get into these good balanced companies.

The part that made me most interested was the part telling that companies which provided large scale of welfare programs gained more net income than those which doesn't provide a large scale of welfare. We usually think that when the company uses a lot of money in welfare, the profit of the company will decrease. But this article was telling us that even though the company has to spend more money for welfare, the percentage of income growth is much bigger than the growth of welfare expenses.

  1. I also think it is one of the important matters to take into account what welfare programs the company provides when getting a job.
    I remember seeing last week's 'Running man', a tv program on SBS- The company had such great welfare program that for some moment, I was more attracted to observing the workplace than watching the main game. It made me want to work there just by looking at the workplace.
    I heard that having a good job that satisfies you is one of the major factors of leading a happy life. I think welfare the company provides, is important as much as the work itself - Working in a place that makes one 'willing' to work more will bring more positive results such as successful outcomes of your work. This will provide more satisfaction and confidence to your worklife and eventually, hapiness to your whole life.

  2. It's interesting that Google is not on the list, as they're famous for these sorts of benefits.
