๐ง๐ ADP Canada Happiness@Work Index: Workers in Canada are Happier as the Holiday Season Nears ๐๐๐
Thursday, 07 December 2023 08:00.AM
- November sees an overall increase in satisfaction for workers across Canada, with Quรฉbec reclaiming the top spot as the happiest region. -
The ADP Canada monthly Happiness@Work Index ("Index") sees workers in Canada happier in November. Boomers (7.2/10) continue to hold the top spot as the happiest generation for the 9th consecutive month, while Quรฉbec (7.0/10) reclaims their title as the happiest region from British-Columbia (6.9/10).
The National Work Happiness Score for November 2023 is 6.8/10, +0.1 points increase from October.
"As we have noted throughout the year, seasonal changes can hinder or heighten happiness levels. The slight bump in the National Happiness Score may indicate upcoming vacation days and time spent with loved ones may be helping to offset the gloomy feeling of late fall days," says Shawna Gee, Director of Marketing, ADP Canada. "While the holiday season may be joyful for many, it can also bring on heightened levels of stress as looming year-end deadlines get closer. A few potential identifiers employers may want to be wary of as the holidays near can include, but not limited to lack of focus, change in behaviour or quality of performance, or even absenteeism."

"While there is an increase in worker happiness this month, it's important for employers to help boost morale and reduce stress amongst the workplace as we head into the holiday season. A few ways this can be done is by celebrating successes, setting goals to keep teams on track, as well as encouraging time off or even implementing wellness breaks during the workday," concludes Gee.
The Happiness@Work Index is measured monthly through a survey fielded by Maru Public Opinion on behalf of ADP Canada and is undertaken by the sample and data collection experts at Maru/Blue. The survey is run in the first week of each reported month for consistency purposes and asks over 1,200 randomly selected employed Canadian adults (including both employees and self-employed individuals) who are Maru Voice Canada online panelists to rate workplace factors on a scale from 1 to 10.
