Work–life balance

As the government mulls over simplifying labor legislation in Türkiye, media reports are discussing the potential reduction of working hours. However, despite signals of change, concrete action is yet to be taken.

Turkey ranks seventh in the world for the expats - foreign specialists who do not work in their own country. This shows data from the Expat Explorer survey, commissioned by HSBC Bank.

The survey, which is held for the 12th consecutive year, was attended by over 18,000 people from 163 countries.

The idea of ​​introducing an additional 4-month parental leave will be discussed on 15 March during the Bulgarian presidency of the Council of Europe, Nova TV reported. The change could become part of the better work-life balance directive.

Businesses across Sweden are introducing shorter, six-hour workdays so workers can enjoy a better work-life balance.

According to the Science Alert website, the aim is to get more done in a shorter period of time as workers will be more focused and productive during the working hours and will have more time left to enjoy their private lives.

A majority of blue collar workers have named poor working conditions as the biggest reason to find a new job, according to a survey by Eleman.net, a leading recruitment website for this group of laborers.

The survey participants were asked through the website why they left their previous jobs.
