UK vs US Work Culture Explained (And Where Is Best To Work)

We may speak the same language, but when it comes to the workplace, we couldn’t be more different. In this episode of The Working Week with entrepreneur Ben Askins - as work life-balance is voted top priority when choosing a job for the first time ever - Ben asks: where is better to work: the UK or the US?

Ben is joined by former actor Quint Boa - Founder of global, multi-million-dollar business, Synima, which has offices in the UK, LA and New York - to compare the two work cultures’ communication styles, work ethic, healthcare benefits and, of course, attitudes towards work-life balance.

Whether you’re a boss navigating how to manage transatlantic employees, or you’re someone who's considering taking a job across the pond, this one’s for you. You’ll also get Ben’s best advice for companies and careers, and a few laughs along the way!
