Youth Cancer Trust has made the top 100 list of the happiest places to work in the world, a report has found.

The UK based charity has an overall worker satisfaction rating of 94% and is ranked 56th out of 60,000 workplaces looked at globally. The average rating worldwide is 72%, while in the UK the average dips to 69%.

In addition, researchers have ranked the Youth Cancer Trust as one of the five best workplaces in terms of wellbeing, alongside the National Railway Museum in York.

The research has been carried out by careers firm WorkL, which has ranked Australian manufacturing firm Steelstruct Engineering, UK firm Deerfoot IT Recruitment and the Los Angeles Police Department the top three happiest workplaces in the world.

The 60,000 workplaces looked at were nominated by employees who took a ‘happy at work test’ created by WorkL.

This includes worker opinions about the best workplaces for women, disabled workers and LGBTQ+ employees as well as the quality of management.

“We are thrilled to be recognised by WorkL as one of the happiest workplaces,” said Youth Cancer Trust manager Georgina Hillman.

“This accolade reflects our dedication to creating an environment where our team members feel valued, supported, and empowered.

“Our commitment to wellbeing is not just a part of our work culture; it's a testament to our core mission of supporting young people with cancer.

“We believe a happy team leads to better support for those we serve, and this recognition validates our efforts in making a positive impact in the lives of both our team and our beneficiaries."
