This research is useful for both employers and employees. Employers can identify areas where improvements may be necessary in work culture, while employees can see how work environments in their city or town compare to the rest of the UK. 

“Companies can improve staff happiness and wellbeing by recognising employee achievements, asking employees for input and promoting a good work-life balance. A positive work culture is crucial, as it can help improve work ethic, productivity, and staff turnover.”
