UK Workplace

happiness report

Global data. Grounded in the UK.

The UK Workplace Happiness Report is a sub-segment of The Global Workplace Happiness Report, which we launched on 26 March 2026 and has since been read in over 100 countries.

Now we’re bringing those findings home. We surveyed 24,129 UK employees across more than 552,000 data points. We’re delighted to present the UK-specific data, grounded right here in the country where The Happiness Index was founded.

What you’ll discover inside

We connect culture directly to the business metrics that matter most. Here’s what the UK data reveals:

• The UK paradox: Why UK employees are happier and more likely to recommend their employer, yet less likely to stay.
• The belonging gap: The single biggest driver of happiness, engagement and retention, and where UK organisations fall short.
• Global and European benchmarks: How the UK compares, and what it means for you.
• Actionable steps: Practical ways to build a high-performing culture, starting now.
