Work, no doubt, is an integral part of our lives but there is always a need for a balance. Yes, Work-Life Balance is important and according to our new research, Filipinos have some of the best experiences of work-life balance in Southeast Asia. Nearly two thirds (65%) of working professionals in the Philippines said they are generally satisfied with their current work-life balance, although 28% said they would like more options to spend time with their friends and family.

The study found 41% of Filipino professionals feel ‘content’ with the balance of their personal and professional lives.
