Two-thirds of Dutch workers are happy with their work-life balance, according to research conducted by Mercer.

Flexible hours are an important part of getting the balance right and 54% of companies offer this opportunity to their staff.

The number of people who think the amount of work they do is reasonable has dropped to 62%, compared with 83% in 2006, says Mercer.

More women (68%) value a good work-life balance than men (61%).

Mercer questioned 1,800 people.
