What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Nexthink?
Frequently Asked Questions
Nexthink takes a practical and supportive approach to work‑life balance. The company encourages people to take regular time off and create healthy routines so they can stay energised and do their best work over time.
Employees are guided by a clear Paid Time Off (PTO) structure, which makes it easier to plan breaks in advance. Everyone is encouraged to take at least two consecutive weeks of vacation each year, helping them fully disconnect and recharge. This structure also provides clarity on how to request shorter or longer periods of time off, so workloads can be managed smoothly.
We also introduced Unlimited PTO, which is designed to give employees extra flexibility once they’ve used the paid vacation days included in their contract. It’s meant to help people take the time they need — for rest, personal matters, or life events — without being limited by a fixed number of days, as long as it works for the team and the business.
In addition to formal policies, many of Nexthink’s offices offer region‑specific perks that contribute to balance during the workday. These can include things like medical insurance, pension contributions, commuting reimbursement, wellness or fitness allowances, and fruit, snacks, and drinks in the office. Our offices are also modern, bright, built with sustainable materials, filled with plants, and feature relaxation areas, game zones (ping‑pong, foosball, board and video games), yoga classes, and seasonal fun activities — all helping employees unwind, connect, and recharge in simple, enjoyable ways.
Nexthink uses a hybrid working model that balances flexibility with the benefits of in‑person connection in the office (3 days per week). The idea is simple: remote work offers focus and autonomy, while time spent together in the office helps people collaborate, learn from each other, and feel part of a team.
Nexthink prioritizes wellbeing by ensuring that employees work in conditions that are safe and supportive—whether they’re in the office, working remotely, or at a client site. The company takes steps to prevent risks and reinforce healthy working habits, which contributes to both physical and mental health.
While regional offerings vary, many Nexthink offices are designed with wellbeing in mind. Employees often enjoy:
- Bright, modern spaces with natural light, sustainable materials, and lots of plants
- Relaxation zones
- Social areas with board games, video games, ping‑pong, and foosball
- Yoga classes and wellness‑focused activities
- Seasonal fun events that help people connect and decompress
These elements help create an atmosphere where people can recharge throughout the day.
Work‑life balance at Nexthink isn’t just about taking time off—it's about creating an environment where people feel respected, supported, and able to participate in different social and sports activities. Through structured time‑off policies, a safe and inclusive culture, clear health and safety standards, supportive leave programs, and inviting office spaces, Nexthink helps employees maintain a healthy rhythm that is efficient for both their well-being and their work.
