Work/Life Balance

We understand the importance of a healthy work/life balance for our employees. We know that a good work/life balance can enable you to feel more in control of your working life and lead to:

  • increased productivity
  • lower absenteeism
  • a happier, less stressed workforce
  • improvements in your health and well-being
  • greater employee loyalty, commitment and motivation

One of the ways that we show our support for your work/life balance is by offering a 7.5 work day as well as the possibility of working an alternative work week.
