These were rated the 10 best companies to work for in Europe in 2024

When it comes to professional work, Europe is recognised for having one of the most favourable approaches globally.

European countries consistently rank among the best for work-life balance, were some of the first to trial the four-day workweek, and offer some of the highest average salaries in the world, along with other employee benefits.

But which companies on the continent are the best to work for?

Fortune and Great Place To Work have published the "Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For Europe" list, which was compiled by analysing more than 1.3 million survey responses from over 2 million employees across Europe.

The companies that topped the list had employees who were both more motivated to work and more comfortable with their company's way of working.

For instance, according to a blog by Great Place To Work, their market study found that, in high-ranking companies, nearly 90 per cent of workers reported that they put in extra effort to get the job done, compared to only 59 per cent at a typical European workplace.

They also found that camaraderie was a driving factor, with workers being 108 per cent more likely to give extra effort if they felt a sense of cooperation with their colleagues.

Moreover, 86 per cent of employees at these top workplaces expressed plans to stay long-term, compared to just 60 per cent at other workplaces, which was particularly relevant among those who felt their work was meaningful and provided them with a sense of purpose.

Also the report found that innovation rates were 66 per cent higher at the top workplaces and were mainly driven by continuous training and development opportunities the companies were providing.
