Work/Life Balance

Working in a fast-paced environment like the EU institutions can be very demanding. However, the EU supports a healthy work/life balance, which motivates people to be the best version of themselves in and outside the workplace.

Joining the EU institutions will allow you to meet the demands of both your career and your personal life, so you will not need to choose one over the other.

Flexible working hours, teleworking arrangements, access to a wide range of personal development courses and a diverse and inclusive working culture, expatriate benefits (e.g. travel and expatriation allowance) and “family-friendly” benefits (e.g. dependent child allowance, European Schools, parental leave) are just some of the extras offered to support staff wellbeing.
