Speaking of Yorkshire Day, Yorkshire and the Humber has been voted the happiest place to work in Britain!

77% of those who worked within Yorkshire and the Humber said that they were happy at work.  This is well above the National average of 63%!

The unhappiest employees in Britain were found to be in Scotland and South England. This is probably due to the fact that 35% of Southerners say that their job is stressful and that they don’t have good friends in the office or they don’t get on with their team.
