An international survey on work-life balance has placed New Zealand on top.

Remote - a human resources services agency - assessed 60 countries, and scored New Zealand a shade under 80 out of 100.

It weighed up issues like minimum wage, sick-leave, average working hours and the strength of the economy.

Chief Revenue Officer Chris McNamara says New Zealand is a fantastic place to live.

"Some of the factors that were most important were that New Zealand offers lucrative compensation, great annual leave allowances of 32 days and a fantastic public healthcare system."
