Work Life Balance a Top Priority for Millennial Women

Women in today's workforce place a high importance on work life balance.

According to the Millennial Women Workplace Success Index by Accenture, the two qualities that women view as a key to workplace success are the ability to balance their personal and professional lives, at 59 percent, and working in a job where they can make a difference, at 66 percent.

This supports the theory that family-oriented and younger people are more interested in a job that offers flexibility as one of its benefits. In addition, about 66 percent of respondents said family life is important to them, compared to the 29 percent of women who said career success is important.
