The Great Place to Work Institute surveyed 700,000 workers across Europe about their workplace well-being, and 18 companies operating in Denmark made the 100 shortlisted across three categories.

“These are values that fit seamlessly with Danish culture, where the distance between leaders and workers is far closer than in southern Europe, and where employees expect to more involved in the decision-making process.”
