This week’s tweet pick comes from @AdsoftheWorld.

For all those suffering from a career that does not allow for work-life balance, I recently read an article in the Metro that really opened my eyes to this topic. It said that work life balance is actually growing in importance amongst students, and that 67% of undergraduates and 58% of MBA students consider work-life balance to be their no. 1 career goal.

And what of most wanted careers?

Careers in the government and with companies like Google scored highest on the list of companies students want to work for.

Also, in office gyms, flexible work schedules, tuition reimbursements, pet-at-work programs and negotiable days off are more likely to hire and retain the next generation of workers.

Lastly, offering employees the option of working from home or during flexible hours has resulted in projects getting finished 3 hours faster on average.

Amazing, isn’t it?

Keep these in mind the next time you’re negotiating.
