Athlone among top ten towns for work-life balance across Ireland
Athlone is the ninth best town for work-life balance in Ireland, according to new research.
Athlone is among the best towns across the country for work-life balance, it has been revealed.
The study, compiled by Switcher, concluded that Athlone was the ninth best town for work-life balance in Ireland.
The top three towns were Castlebar, Ballina and Longford respectively.
The Work-Life Balance Act 2023 was introduced by the government last year, so ahead of the new Code of Practice giving employees new rights, Switcher revealed the best towns and cities for the perfect work-life balance.
It was revealed that the commercial capital of the Midlands has all the facilities people need to achieve the right work-life balance from shopping centres to a regional fitness complex and leisure centre serving the town.
Althone was ranked as the second-best town to shop and eat, with a plentiful amount of cafes and supermarkets compared to other towns on the list.
The research compared essentials like broadband speeds, mobile coverage, and access to local amenities like primary schools, GP surgeries, and major supermarkets. Factors important for well-being, like green spaces, leisure facilities and cafes, house prices, commuting and crime rate were also included as part of the research.
