Bigger Is Better
The survey also revealed that 55 out of 100 employees are either neutral or happy at work, chiefly thanks to work location, followed by good colleagues and the company’s reputation.
More content employees were also found in larger companies that had a defined organizational structure that allowed employees to look at other options without leaving the company. Life-long learning opportunities are also more prevalent due to the scale of larger companies.
