"New Zealand was crowned the best country for life-work balance for the third year in a row, improving on its score in 2024, thanks in part to a slight jump in minimum wage. Workers there can enjoy 32 days of paid leave, six months of fully paid maternity leave, and one of the world's highest minimum wages."
"The country's consistent top ranking reflects policies that ensure ample annual leave, robust public safety, high-quality healthcare, and an overall sense of collective contentment. Coupled with one of the world's highest minimum wages, New Zealand has cultivated an environment where professional pursuit enhances, rather than eclipses, personal fulfillment."
Nations differ in their approach to work-life balance, with some prioritizing employee well-being through policies on paid leave, healthcare, and minimum wage. The Global Life-Work Balance Index evaluates countries based on these factors, revealing a divide between those that treat rest and family time as essential and those that view them as optional. New Zealand ranks highest for the third consecutive year, offering extensive paid leave and a high minimum wage, reflecting a culture that values personal time alongside professional achievement.
