The Great Place to Work's study of 25,000 employees in 19 European countries reveals stark differences in worker satisfaction. Countries like Italy and Greece show low satisfaction rates at 43% and 44%, while Denmark and Norway boast much higher satisfaction levels at 75% and 73%. Factors such as respect, work-life balance, and psychological safety contribute to positive workplace culture. The study also highlights age-related trends in employee retention: 40% of younger workers (18-24) want to leave their jobs, compared to just 25% of older employees (55+). Additionally, flexible work arrangements vary widely across regions, with Northern Europe leading in remote work options.
