100 Best Workplaces in Europe 2005

USA

Financial Times UK

Robert Levering notes in the Financial Times UK:

"Europe and the US may have drifted apart politically in recent years because of differences over foreign policy. But not as regards the workplace.

European companies have adopted work-family policies that many of their American cousins pioneered several years before. Companies on both sides of the Atlantic are competing to attract workers by showing they care about problems in balancing work and personal life.

This increase in family friendly benefits is the most significant trend in this third edition of the '100 Best Workplaces in Europe' list."
