Cultures, countries, organizations, teams, and individuals are all shaped by their unique value systems. These systems are manifested as structures, rituals, and social behaviors on all levels.
When a country has developed to a high level of safety, the demand for democracy will rise. And with democracy follows the urge for autonomy.
Regarding values, Sweden is considered the most extreme country in the world. Check out the “World Values Survey” if you want to dig deeper into this. In this survey, Sweden is ranked as the highest on both “self-expressing” and “secular-rational values”. The survey started almost 40 years ago and clearly proves the world is moving in our direction.
Our evolving values will change everything; why we work, how we work, and how we live our lives. Sweden already gets global attention as being forward-thinking. Worklife Group believes we need to appreciate this as a great opportunity to take the lead, inspire and benefit from a business perspective.
We need to rethink the way we look at our workplaces.
