An employee with a work-life balance will be able to perform well professionally over the long term of their career. It's important to maintain a healthy work/life balance to prevent burnout. The interviewer expects you to explain how you feel about these topics in your answer. This will help them ascertain your natural ability to balance the two spheres of work and your personal life.
Validating the nature of the question can go a long way by exhibiting insight into the big picture of this question. Think about how you strike harmony and balance when stepping away from the stresses of work, and whether it is a vacation or a micro-break that's required.

"I think that depends on the employee. If an employee feels burned out and is having trouble getting through their day, they may need a vacation, but the issue goes deeper than that. Their work/life balance is likely off. They need help managing their time and need to work on their organizational skills. As for me, because I can only speak for myself here, I could go for a vacation every year or two, with a few three or four-day weekends here and there. But considering that everyone is different and that many employees have trouble managing their time and balance, a blanket policy of awarding time off might be a good innovative approach."
