What If You Could Have It All? Lessons from the Danish Labour Market Model
Welcome to Denmark - a country that defies conventional trade-offs between profit and purpose, efficiency and well-being, shareholders and stakeholders. Despite having some of the world's most expensive human capital, Denmark ranks among global leaders in productivity, innovation, and happiness.
What is the secret? The Danish Labour Market Model - a unique system of social partnership, flexicurity, and mutual trust between trade unions, employers, and the state. It powers world-class innovation, sustainable growth, and international success for companies like LEGO, Novo Nordisk, and Mærsk - all while maintaining a deep commitment to employee well-being.
