Over a million employees took WorkL’s Happy at Work Test to enter their organisation into these awards. The anonymous test, which takes less than ten minutes for employees to take for free, looks at various areas that impact work life, including WorkL’s Six Steps to Workplace Happiness; Wellbeing, Job Satisfaction, Reward & Recognition, Information Sharing, Empowerment and Instilling Pride. Organisations who scored 70 and over are included in the exclusive list.

Lord Mark Price, Founder of WorkL comments on the list; “I’m delighted to publish the World’s Happiest Workplaces 2026 List today. Organisations who are recognised report higher productivity, lower staff turnover and lower sick leave as a result of employees being happier. Our research shows that nearly 50% of people are unhappy, anxious or depressed at work. It’s our mission to make the world’s workplaces happier, and it starts with acknowledging the ones who are doing a good job.”

Notes to Editors

About WorkL 

Lord Price launched WorkL, back in 2017, along with WorkL For Business which now helps over 1,000 businesses globally improve the happiness and engagement of their teams and has seen over 1 million individuals globally take the free Happy At Work Test, which helps people determine how happy they are in their current job.

The test, featuring 35 questions, is centred around Lord Mark Price’s widely approved employee engagement theory: Six Steps to Workplace Happiness. Developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders, academics and other independent parties, the test accurately monitors employee engagement and wellbeing in the workplace.

To achieve a high overall engagement score, a company must consistently perform well across its six-step framework, encompassing: Reward and Recognition, Instilling Pride, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Wellbeing and Job Satisfaction. Each of WorkL’s Six Steps consists of between three and five key elements, which are measured on a 0-10 scale.

WorkL recently secured a £2m Series A raise, enabling the business to accelerate and expand its domestic and international operations which already include the UK, Ireland, UAE, Philippines, India, Australia, South Africa and the USA.

WorkL’s Work Happiness Charter is a global framework designed to help employers embed wellbeing and engagement into their culture as well as for employees to know their rights at work. The Charter enables organisations to demonstrate their commitment to making workplace happiness a universal right.
