Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What's the secret to Denmark's happy work-life balance?
Situated between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, Denmark is a small Nordic country with a population of around six million. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are both autonomous territories of Denmark. Danish people, or Danes, are often ranked the happiest people in the world because of their social equality, trust, empowerment, welfare system, and work-life balance. For example, Danes are happy to pay a 25% value-added tax on most items and over 100% on new cars because they can see what they get in return, including free education, health care, and social welfare. In workplaces, workers are given five weeks of paid vacation annually and six months of paid maternity and paternity leave. Also, they enjoy flexibility during the workday to take care of their family affairs and personal businesses. Since they feel more trusted, entitled, and empowered, they become responsible for their jobs and accomplish their tasks without feeling pressured or stressed.
