Beyond Benefits: What Our Team Loves Most About Working at YouScan
YouScan Named One of Europe’s Most Inspiring and Global Most Loved Workplaces in 2026
This year, YouScan received two major workplace recognitions: we were named one of Europe’s Top 10 Inspiring Workplaces and made it to the Top 20 Global Most Loved Workplaces® 2026.
But behind every award, there is a more important question: what makes people actually enjoy working here?
So we asked our team what benefits they value most. And while the summer 4-day workweek and unlimited PTO made the list, many answers pointed to something bigger: the way we work and build together.
Celebrating a PeopleFirst Culture in Europe’s Top 10
In the 2026 Top 30 Inspiring Workplaces across Europe ranking by Inspiring Workplaces Group, YouScan was named #10 overall, #3 among medium-sized organizations, and received a Special Recognition in Wellbeing.

The awards celebrate organizations building PeopleFirst cultures and assess companies across key areas such as culture and purpose, leadership, wellbeing, inclusion, employee voice, and employee experience.
YouScan Makes the Top 20 Global Most Loved Workplaces® 2026
YouScan also ranked #19 in the 2026 Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces®, a ranking curated by Best Practice Institute and featured by The Economist.
The list recognizes companies where people feel valued, supported, and connected to the work they do — highlighting workplaces that make culture part of how the organization operates every day.
We Asked About Benefits. The Team Talked About Culture.
To understand what these recognitions look like from the inside, we asked our team: What benefits do you value most at YouScan?
The obvious favorites showed up right away:
Summer 4-day workweek
Unlimited leave policy
Flexibility and work-from-home options
Learning budget
Offline gatherings
But the real surprise was how many answers didn’t sound like a benefits list at all. People kept coming back to the things that shape everyday work: who they work with, and what they work on.
People who make you better
Supportive managers, talented colleagues, transparency, and the feeling that help is always close came up again and again.
💚Lucas Paiva, Customer Support Manager: Working with the most talented people really pushes us up.
Work that feels interesting and meaningful
Another thing people valued was having genuinely interesting tasks, space to make decisions, and the feeling that their opinion is reflected in how work actually moves forward.
💚Dmytro Boichuk, Software Engineer: My opinion is taken into account during the work process. I can choose what to do and have time to close "personally painful" backlog during cooldowns.
A product people believe in
Teammates also talked about the value of the product itself: building something useful, seeing client satisfaction, and having a real chance to contribute ideas that can make the tool better.
💚 Gabriela d'Ávila, Business Development Manager: Not a benefit per se, but definitely counted towards the decision to accept the offer, and never wanting to leave: cutting-edge product with high client satisfaction.
Growing This Culture Together
And honestly, that’s the part that means the most to us.
Awards are amazing, and we’re really proud of them. But it feels even better when the same things show up in our team’s own words, in what people notice and choose to mention.
Culture is not something you announce once, but something you keep building every day, together. And we’re very happy to keep doing exactly that at YouScan 💚
