World's Happiest Workplaces | Public Sector and Government

Winner's list: Public Sector and Government Industry

Meet the World's Happiest Workplaces for Best for Public Sector and Government Industry.

Welsh Parliament (Senedd Cymru)

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)

The Senedd is the democratically elected, unicameral legislature representing the interests of Wales. It holds the power to pass laws on devolved matters, including health, education, and the environment. Comprising 60 Members (MSs), it operates as a fully bilingual institution (Welsh and English) and is responsible for scrutinizing the Welsh Government and setting Welsh income tax rates.

Established in 1995, the KRA is the central agency for the assessment and collection of all government revenues in Kenya. It is a critical driver of the nation’s economic independence, managing tax compliance, trade facilitation, and border control. Recently, it has pivoted toward an “AI-led” reform strategy to automate tax services and improve the ease of doing business via its iTax portal.

NASA is the world’s premier space agency, responsible for civil space programs, aeronautics research, and space exploration. With a workforce of approximately 18,000 civil servants and thousands of contractors, NASA operates 10 field centers. Its mission spans from Earth science and climate monitoring to pioneering human missions to the Moon and Mars through the Artemis program.
