Real work-life balance - It's our way of life!

Real work-life balance isn’t an aspiration, it is a reality and a way of life for people in the Gothenburg region, West Sweden.

Here, society and workplaces are designed around the idea that if you live well and have time and space to disconnect outside of your work, spend quality time with your family and have hobbies and interests, you perform better at work. Work-life balance is deeply embedded in Swedish culture and policies.

One important reason behind this focus is the promotion of gender equality. Everyone, regardless of gender, should have the right to build a career, support themselves, balance their work and still have time for family and life outside of work.

Here, we explain some of the foundations that help create a good work-life balance.
