  • Working at a company where you can balance your time between work and everything else is important, especially to avoid burnout and to take care of your mental health amid the pandemic.
  • Career website Comparably released a new ranking of the small and midsize companies with the best work-life balance.
  • To do this, the company analyzed 10 million employee ratings on the site at 60,000 US companies from over a 12-month period.

Working at a company that values balancing your life is important, especially during the pandemic where the workplace may also be your home.

A working paper from Harvard Business School and NYU Stern School of Business that found employees on lockdown spent more time doing work-related tasks. Additionally, an April article from Bloomberg reported on NordVPN data that shows US employees were working three additional hours a day during the pandemic. 

But some companies offer policies that support work-life balance to prevent employees from feeling overworked. Career website Comparably recently found the companies with the best work-life balance for small and midsize businesses. These companies have less than 500 employees. To do this, Comparably surveyed 60,000 US companies using 10 million anonymous employee ratings on the site between the end of September 2019 to the end of September 2020.

The ranking was based on questions like "Do you feel burnt out at work?" and "Are you satisfied with your work-life balance?" The company then used a numerical score to determine their ranking.

Based on employee quotes provided by Comparably, employees at some of these companies enjoy the generous paid time off and vacation time policies. 

The following are the top small and midsize companies that have great work-life balance. You can check out the full list of both large and small or midsize companies here.

9 VCs in Madrid and Barcelona discuss the COVID-19 era and look to the future

Spain’s startup ecosystem has two main hubs: Madrid and Barcelona. Most observers place Barcelona first and Madrid second, but the gap appears to close every year. Barcelona has benefitted from attracting expats in search of sun, beach and lifestyle who tend to produce more internationally minded startups. Madrid’s startups have predominantly been Spain or Latin America-focused, but have become increasingly international in nature. Although not part of this survey, we expect Valencia to join next year, as city authorities have been going all-out to attract entrepreneurs and investors. The overall Spanish ecosystem is generally less mature than those in the U.K., France, Sweden and Germany, but it has been improving at a fast clip. More recently, entrepreneurs in Spain have moved away from emulating success in pursuit of innovative technologies. Following the financial crisis, the Spanish government supported the creation of startups with the launch of FOND-ICO GLOBAL, a €1.5 billi...
