Here are 3 interview questions to help uncover a company's true work-life balance culture:
Like most buzzwords, “work-life balance” rose to massive popularity only to rapidly become defunct and outdated. If you Google “work-life balance” and “dead,” you will find a host of articles making the case of why the idea of balance is a fallacy, why work-life balance is not the largest predictor of job satisfaction or a detailed explanation of the newly favored term “work-life integration” that seeks to merge all the things we value into one seamless life experience.
These three interview questions will help you gain insight into the company’s values and how they will ultimately treat you once you are hired.This is a standard question and one that interviewers are expecting. Some will have canned answers based on talking points HR provided. Others will give you an honest, from the gut response. Pay attention to which one you are receiving as the latter will be more insightful.
“The best idea wins” phrase points to a results-oriented and transparent organization that probably values quality output over hours worked. Remote and flexible working has forced many executives to be deliberate about how and when to communicate with team members. If the interviewer has already set up clear 1:1 time slots or communication meetings with their team, it is likely a sign that flexible working necessitated this and is their workplace norm.You can learn a lot about a company’s values simply from observing your hiring process.
