Survey finds "work/life balance" gap
While so-called "work/life balance" programs such as flex-time are highly prized by workers, they are not a priority for many employers, according to a survey out today from Monster.com.
With a big presence in Maynard, Monster.com is a website where employers can recruit talent and where workers can manage their careers.
According to the findings of the 2007 Monster Work/Life Balance Survey, 89 percent of employees polled believe work/life balance programs, such as flex-time and telecommuting, are important when evaluating a new job, yet only about half of human-resources professionals polled consider work/balance programs to be important initiatives for their companies.

The New York Times Co., parent company of The Boston Globe, has an alliance with Monster to sell help-wanted advertising.
