PETALING JAYA: A majority of Malaysian companies have flexible work arrangements to help employees balance their career and personal life, says a leading employers group, disputing a recent global index that gave the country the second worst score on work-life balance.

While individual work-life balance can vary, Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) said it is essential for employees to excel in their roles without compromising their personal life, as this balance enables both employee and employer to achieve success.
