What's the secret to Denmark's happy work-life balance? A secret totally unknown in the US.

Meik Wiking of the Tivoli Gardens amusement park

Mr Wiking is another Dane who cites the concept of bosses trusting their employees to do the right thing. He uses the example of staff at the Tivoli Gardens amusement park in Copenhagen, where they follow the three-metre rule.

The idea is that you are CEO of everything within a radius of three metres. "If you see garbage within your three-metre radius you pick it up, and if you see a guest looking for something, you stop and ask them if you can help," says Mr Wiking.
