  "account": "Chiesi and Bending Spoons have demonstrated that Italy can compete at the highest levels in Europe. Beniamino Bedusa, president of Great Place to Work Italy, commented on the Italian presence in the ranking of the 100 best workplaces among European multinational companies. They were ranked 21st and 69th respectively, the only two Italian companies in the top 100 European list. Bedusa explained that these two Italian realities among the 100 best in Europe, in a ranking composed of large organizations, is an important result. They come from different sectors, pharmaceutical and software development, and this confirms that a great work environment does not depend on size or sector, but on the trust that leaders build with people every day. The top company in the European podium is the luxury hotel chain Hilton, followed by the biotechnology and pharmaceutical company AbbVie and the logistics company DHL. The top ten is completed by Cisco (Information Technology), Specsavers (retail), Allianz (financial and insurance services), Stryker (manufacturing and production), Aviva (financial and insurance services), Siemens Healthineers (health), and Salesforce (Information Technology). Sector-wise, technology (28%), financial and insurance services (14%), and professional services (12%) dominate the list, followed by biotechnology and pharmaceuticals (10%), manufacturing and production (9%), health (4%), hospitality, construction, and other sectors (3%), transportation (2%), education and training, and advertising and marketing (1%). The ranking is based on the opinions of a sample of 1.2 million European employees from various countries, including Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, or the United Kingdom. According to the findings, large companies (with at least 500 employees) that put people first and build work environments based on trust are also the ones that perform best in business and in retaining employees. Of the Italian companies, only two are present in the ranking of the best work environments at the European level, but none is in the top ten. Chiesi is ranked 21st and Bending Spoons is ranked 69th. Bedusa said that since \"none of the Italian companies are in the top ten, the challenge is to make this result less exceptional. Companies that stand out are those in which leaders listen, communicate clearly, and match actions to words. And they do it consistently for everyone, not just a part of it. The data from this ranking show that investing in trust is not just about creating a positive climate, but it's a business choice: it's the large companies that put employees first that see better results in terms of retention, agility, and performance. Therefore, it is important that more and more Italian organizations make employee trust a priority.\"",
