In Vietnam, 83.6 percent received benefits as part of their employment package such as health and medical allowances, an annual trip home or airfare allowance and accommodation allowance.

More than half (55 percent) of expats in Vietnam said their work-life balance is better than at home and 40.3 percent said the work culture is better. Vietnam is a good place for expats to progress in their career (47 percent).

Renowned for its efficiency and productivity, Germany topped the rankings in 2018, going one better than in the previous two years.

It has the second-best working culture in the world, while almost three quarters (73 percent) highlighted job security as a major perk of working there.

It was also rated the most productive workplace in the world. But interestingly, this productivity was well balanced, with a good proportion of expats saying they had seen a positive impact on work-life balance and it was better than at home (71 percent).

Bahrain’s potential for sky-high earnings was central to its storming up the rankings by 10 places to second.

Another country with a strong surge up the rankings was the UK, which rose six places to third, with expats lauding the country as a great place to learn new skills (66 percent).

Working abroad anywhere can make you more adaptable (61 percent) and more confident (58 percent).
