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!
