Athlone is among the best towns across the country for work-life balance, it has been revealed. The study, compiled by Switcher, concluded that Athlone was the ninth best town for work-life balance in Ireland. The Work-Life Balance Act 2023 was introduced by the government last year, so ahead of the new Code of Practice giving employees new rights, Switcher revealed the best towns and cities for the perfect work-life balance. It was revealed that the commercial capital of the Midlands has all the facilities people need to achieve the right work-life balance from shopping centres to a regional fitness complex and leisure centre serving the town. Althone was ranked as the second-best town to shop and eat, with a plentiful amount of cafes and supermarkets compared to other towns on the list.
