What really matters

Why it mattersIl punto rilevante è l’effetto potenziale sul settore Economia; le fonti non consentono ancora di misurarlo con precisione.

Impact on Italian businessesNelle fonti non emerge un impatto diretto quantificato per le imprese italiane: attribuirlo ora sarebbe un salto interpretativo.

Decisions and open questions

Who is involvedLe fonti non dettagliano oltre i soggetti nominati nel testo.

OpportunitiesNessuna opportunità economica concreta è quantificata: per ora è una possibilità, non un risultato.

RisksIl rischio principale è scambiare un annuncio per un effetto già realizzato.

What to monitorServono atti, scadenze e numeri verificabili prima di trarre conclusioni operative.

A remarkable improvement in workers' trust [P1] The 2026 edition of the 'Best Workplaces for Blue Collar' survey by Great Place to Work Italy is based on a questionnaire compiled from 4,704 employees working in certified companies; among the 15 winning enterprises, the score for employee trust index is 69%, seven points lower than that of management staff, while it stands at 50% compared to those in the Great Place to Work panel; six enterprises did not appear in the 2025 edition and another six, which were part of last year's list, have been removed from the grading criteria; ten out of fifteen enterprises have fewer than 500 employees; to compete requires certification from Great Place to Work, at least 50 employees, and at least 30 workers, equivalent to at least 10% of the total workforce. [P2] What distinguishes the best enterprises for workers What enterprises win get the highest scores on pride in their work (72%), followed closely by satisfaction with colleagues (68%).

The survey reveals that employees' satisfaction with their workplace is on the rise across all five dimensions of the Great Place to Work® assessment, which includes equity, credibility, respect, cohesion, and relationship with job role. Satisfaction has increased by two or three points compared to 2025.

Employees are also feeling more responsible for their work, with 67% reporting they feel responsible for it, while 60% say they enjoy working there and 57% find going to work enjoyable, up from previous editions.

Safety, benefits, and feedback have improved significantly when comparing them to the average, with 81% of award-winning companies stating they can use these benefits, versus only 51% in the panel, an increase of ten points since 2025.

For those businesses creating a corporate wellness program, the data shows that among production staff, benefits are the area where the award-winning companies differentiate themselves most.

The involvement in decisions exceeds 20 points, while on workplace safety conditions, which is a basic condition for those working in departments, it is of 16 points.
