Great Place to Work® has unveiled the names of the 150 best companies to work for in Europe in 2021; five Luxembourg companies are included in this year's ranking.

Great Place to Work®, the global benchmark for corporate culture, surveyed employees at 3,000 companies in 36 European countries on the key factors that create great places to work for all to determine its "Best Workplaces Europe™ 2021" ranking. 

To be named the best in Europe, companies must first be at the top of their national Great Place to Work lists. This recognition is based on confidential survey data assessing employee experiences with trust, innovation, corporate values ​​and leadership.

Companies included in this ranking achieved, on average, an overall score that was 8% higher than other non-awarded organisations. According to Great Place to Work®, the main difference between those included in Europe's top 150 and those who were not was that 82% of employees of the award-winning companies said they were willing to put in more effort than required to get the job done. This is compared to 67% of employees of companies not included in the ranking.

On average, 85% of employees at companies on the list reported "feeling good" at work, as defined by factors such as feeling taken care of, listened to, and working in a psychologically and emotionally healthy work environment. These employees were also 4.4 times more likely to want to work there for a long time, 3.7 times more likely to say that work-life balance was encouraged and 2.8 times more likely to say that the company management's actions matched their words.
