The majority of French people feel good at work. But they are far behind the Indians, who are 88% to say they are satisfied with their quality of professional life.
Strikes have been increasing in France since the beginning of May. And yet, according to those interviewed for the Edenred-Ipsos 2016 barometer, well-being at work is in good shape. 67% of residents of France are satisfied with their quality of professional life. This is a little less than the world average.
India in the lead
As part of this barometer, produced by the inventor of Restaurant Tickets, 14,000 employees from all over the world – 15 different countries were listed – were questioned. Overall, well-being at work is a reality for 70% of them. Indians do the best with 88% of workers happy at work. Japan is at the bottom of the ranking with half the number of satisfied employees. France arrives in 6e position. Regionally, the countries of America are the best ranked.

The barometer in fact distinguishes four “families” of countries according to the criteria which justify the high score of well-being at work: those which are based on emotion (India, Mexico, Brazil, etc.), on the working environment ( Japan, Turkey, China…), on the emotional deficit (Spain, United Kingdom, United States), and on the attention deficit (Belgium, France, Germany).
The salary is a concern
Feeling good at work therefore depends on several criteria. The employees questioned believe that good skills management is essential, given the flexibility of the organization of work and the promotion of health. However, these two elements are not ignored. Three quarters of those polled affirm that their company has an active policy on health at work. A very positive result.
This is undoubtedly why the demands of the French relate primarily to salary (47%) then to health aid (43%). They are much less likely to think that assistance with transport and catering during the lunch break should be improved.
