What is Work-Life Balance?

The equilibrium between an employee's professional responsibilities and personal life, enabling sustained performance and well-being.

Why it matters in hiring

Work-Life Balance comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
