“The well-being of managers” study: more than 70% of VSE bosses say they are happy at work

Personal development, the key to happiness?

For 70,84% ​​of small business owners, happiness at work requires fulfillment in their profession and in the activity of their company. Coming in second place is the financial health of the company, which remains an important element contributing to their happiness, while the quality of relationships with employees, suppliers and partners comes in last position.

Moving forward despite obstacles

Sometimes sales, financial, HR, accountant, technician… Being the owner of a small business requires a real investment.

Whatever the boss's motivation (social status, a nice car, income, independence, etc.), it is this that will make him move forward despite the pitfalls. »
