Work-life balance still elusive for KL-ites


While remote working has a lot of benefits in terms of more flexibility and less commuting time, there is also a very real danger that employees slip into an unhealthy balance between "working" and "home" hours without the physical boundaries of the working environment.

PEOPLE in Kuala Lumpur have the longest working hours and spend the most time commuting to work compared to any other city dwellers in the world, giving KL-ites the third lowest work-life balance globally, says a recent study.

According to the "Best Cities for Work-Life Balance 2020" study by US-based security specialist Kisi, Kuala Lumpur ranked 47th out of 50 major cities worldwide for qualities that make working and living easier.
