The dream is called Microsoft. Once again, the group founded by Bill Gates – who won the Italian championship – finished first in the ranking of the 2014 European Bestplace to work, companies considered the best from the point of view of the working environment. The ranking, which is run by the Great Place to Work and is based on responses to two-thirds of the workers themselves in an anonymous and one-third on an analysis of the institution, shall be divided into three categories and Microsoft won in the ranking of multinational , followed by “WL Gore & Associates’, universally known for the trademark Gore-Tex, and the insurance company Admiral Group, present in Italy with the brand “With You.” In the category of large companies (over 500 employees), the revelation was the French consulting company Davidson, who has climbed seven positions and finished first, while the Swedish information technology company Cygni is at the top of the rankings for the top 50 small and medium-sized enterprises (50 to 500 employees). The American Institute has evaluated more than 800 companies in 19 countries. The rankings were announced last night during the awards ceremony which was held in Rome.

But what makes a company a job template? For China Gorman, CEO of Great Place to Work world who spoke at the European conference yesterday morning in Rome, the study of thousands of organizations shows that the leaders of top companies focus their efforts in creating a culture based on trust . The good news is that in general, in Europe, confidence is improving. “We conducted an analysis that for five years has examined the confidence of workers, which is the foundation of the best companies and a key ingredient for the success of business results – reads the report of the presentation of the study -. The result shows that in most countries there has been an increase in the level of trust in companies and different countries have had a noticeable improvement. In no country has, however, been a sharp decline in confidence. ” In the future, according to experts of the Great Place to Work, the challenges of slow-growing economy and new generations entering the labor market will lead to new demands in organizations. The European companies will have to focus even more on innovation, creativity, flexibility and excellence in service quality: in a word, change their culture to transform the leadership style and the way people work and interact. And that is what Microsoft is doing, which in 2011 Ireland has launched a program of cultural change, “Fuel Your Energy,” to develop the capacity of staff to undertake change, sustain the pace of a dynamic environment and achieve a better balance between work and personal life.

Although no Italian company has been ranked among the best in Europe, the confidence index of the Best Workplaces Italian is growing . Between 2009 and 2013 the national standard of the trust index has risen and reached a maximum of 77 points in the 2011/12 season. Italy also has its own national standards. How Bottega Veneta, ninth in the ranking relative to our country, that in ten years it has evolved from a small leather goods brand from 50 million in revenue in a luxury lifestyle brand that has exceeded one billion Euros of turnover. The President and CEO Marco Bizzarri, who spoke yesterday at the European Conference, explained how the success of Bottega Veneta is the result of its people and the passion they instill in their work. The secret is to put people and their talents as a corporate priority, because the sense of belonging is what brings everyone to contribute to the creation of a legend.
