Google is very serious about Work Life Balance for its Employees, Google pampers its Employees like no other company

Google is one of the biggest technology companies in the world, and it really cares about its employees’ work-life balance. The company makes sure to look after its workers and support them in various ways. While many other companies may treat their employees poorly, Google takes a different approach by treating them well. Other businesses could learn a lot from Google about how to take care of their employees. When workers are happy, it helps the company grow and succeed. Many employees have shared their experiences about the work culture at Google, and we’ll explore some of those stories.

What Eric Schmidt said

Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, mentioned that the company is currently behind OpenAI and some other organizations in the field of Artificial Intelligence. He explained that this is partly because Google has set specific working hours and does not pressure employees to work long hours.

Additionally, Google allows its employees to work remotely, meaning they can work from home if they choose. Most employees only need to come into the office one day a week. This flexibility helps create a positive work environment where employees can feel comfortable and balanced in their personal and professional lives.

He said, “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” He added that the reason the other startups are doing well is that “the people work like hell.”
