In 2016, Universum published the results of the study under the heading Global Workforce Happy Index, interviewing 200,000 workers around the world about whether they are satisfied with their employment. According to the rating, Russia ranks in it only 10th place, while European countries are standing in leaders. I decided to find out what needs to be changed in relation to employees to your activities to influence the perception of work as a whole.
Normated work schedule
While in Russia, supermarkets work from 7.00 to 23.00, in Europe, the grocery stores close at 22.00, and even before. The same applies to the offices of companies - so in France, the average duration of the working day is 7 hours, and in Italy, by agreement of the parties, it may be even less. All because employers respect the law and do not want to pay huge fines for violating labor legislation. As a result, employees receive a normalized schedule and the ability to preserve the balance between work and personal life.
Attitude to working time
"Flexibility and independence in the planning of their working time. Nobody will come to the head to work "while the head in the office". Mastern tasks are important, and not the number of hours carried out in the office. At the same time, it is completely normal to work one or two days from the house, in the train on the way home and from the house, in the evening, etc., "comments for Womanhit Anastasia Carnukh, a career consultant and an expert on self-branding for a career.

Meetings with the leader
In Russia, the culture of business meetings is universally developed only at the level of conclusion of transactions with partners and discussing projects with contractors.

The worker himself, if necessary, can, without constant to turn to the boss, to present him the idea of a new project or ask to revise the challenges made by them. 'Clear agenda and formulated answer to the question "What do we want to achieve as a result of this meeting?" - no exception, and a rule, "the career expert notes. The main thing here is the mutual respect between people and the desire for general efforts to achieve specific goals.
The ability to say "no"
A healthy trend on building personal borders and preserving a balance between personal and working time is noticeable in Europe. "People respect personal borders, their own and someone else's time. Therefore, the planned events with children are quite a good reason to abandon the meeting in the aptural time, "said Anastasia Carnukh expert on his own experience in international companies. As a result, the level of stress of people is reduced, which directly affects the quality of the work performed by their.

No fear of change
Relocation between cities and countries - Normal practice for international companies. Moreover, as an employee can offer to take a new position in another department, so he can learn about the possibility of translation, if you decide to change the place of residence. The flexible system allows people to implement their needs without prejudice to the material supply and career self-realization. As a result, people make no sense to leave companies, the important principle of which is the provision of the emotional stability of the employee and its satisfaction with the work.
