"We know that work/ life balance means different things to different people and we work hard to have a truly inclusive culture to support all colleagues, whether they are juggling life with caring responsibilities, or want to work more flexibly in terms of their hours and location.”

Lloyds Banking group employs more than 6,000 staff in Calderdale including hundreds at the former HBos corporate sites in Trinity Road, Halifax, and the Copley data Centre at

Wakefeld Road.

Indeed said a good work/life balance includes good holiday allocation, sympathetic working hours and the ability to leave work at the office.

The jobs site said this reinforces recent data from decipher/FocusVision that revealed that almost 90 per cent of British people do not regard salary as the most important factor in their job.

Bill Richards, UK ​m​anaging ​d​irector at Indeed, ​said: “There is much to be gained both for employers and employees from encouraging a healthy work/life balance so all companies in this list should be applauded for already offering more to their staff than just a salary.

“Millennials in particular are aware that they are likely to have to work for longer than previous generations, so they appreciate the need to enjoy what they are doing as well as where and with whom they are doing it.​"

He said t​here ​wa​s a healthy mixture of employers from a wide variety of industries and both public and private sectors​,​ which demonstrates that offering a good work/life balance is by no means exclusively the domain of trendy tech startups, but is in fact something all smart employers should be doing.

People remain the most important asset in business, so attracting good staff and allowing them to perform at their best should be deemed a priority, not an afterthought, and ensuring you promote a good work/life balance is central to this​,​”​ he added.​
