How Comparably came up with this ranking

Work-life balance has been important during the pandemic, as some employees are leaving jobs because of burnout or for jobs that offer more work flexibility.

According to one survey by remote job site FlexJobs, people thinking about changing careers want to do so for better work-life balance. Fifty-six percent who said they "want to change careers is to be in a job or field with a better work-life balance" according to FlexJobs, while only half said they would change careers for higher pay.

Comparably's latest ranking using employee responses highlights which companies seem to be great at giving their employees the work-life balance they need to succeed and to feel supported at work.

The workplace culture and career site asked employees anonymously over a 12-month period, starting from September 17, 2020, about what the work-life balance is like at where they work. To understand just how employees are feeling about this, questions ranged from the number of hours they work to whether they feel burned out.

HubSpot made the top of the annual ranking for large companies, or companies with over 500 employees. Other different kinds of tech companies also made the list, such as Outreach.

All information, including industry categories and anonymous employee quotes, were shared with Insider from Comparably. The full list, as well as the ranking for small and midsize companies, can be found on Comparably here.
