Calgary has dived in terms of juggling work and private life, according to new data released Friday.
The information, compiled by the office security company Kisi, consisted of 100 cities around the world, most of the United States.
Four Canadian centers were on the list: Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa and Calgary. The four Canadian cities were also ranked on Kisi’s lists in both 2021 and 2019.
While the nation’s capital placed the highest in seventh place, Calgary placed the lowest among them at this year’s table, at 30th.
A year ago, when many COVID-19 restrictions and work-from-home standards were still in place, Kisi analyzed the same data and Calgary came out much higher on the list, in 13th place.
The company says the list is different from a habitability index or a list of the best cities to work in.
“The study aims to show which cities offer the healthiest work-life balance for their citizens.”
Kisi analyzed a variety of items for his list, such as distance work, work intensity, as well as unemployment figures and the number of people working multiple jobs.
He also looked at how cities care for citizens.
“We examined the role of society and institutions in caring for the city’s residents during this difficult period. To do so, we examined the impact of the pandemic and the support offered to each city, as well. such as the quality of health care, access to mental health care, and the scope of gender and LGBT + equality. “
According to a recent Leger poll, which asked more than 3,000 Canadians across the country about their views on job change, there is a clear link “between quality of life and health in the workplace.” .
“In the current workforce, we are seeing a major trend, as those who are dissatisfied with their quality of life are more likely to look for a new job opportunity in the next two years,” the survey wrote. .
51% of respondents, aged between 35 and 54, said they were not satisfied with their quality of life.
Kisi says the goal of his study is to help decision-makers, both companies and governments, understand problems and guide them to take positive steps.
“As the pandemic subsides, its economic impact, combined with that of the Ukrainian war, is being felt around the world in the form of high inflation that is already affecting the day to day.”
