Canadian HR services firm ADP regularly examines how satisfied Canadians across the country are with their work lives with a monthly index, and the most recent figures show that workplace happiness is on the decline in Ontario, which is now tied with Atlantic Canada for last place. As the company headlined a recent release, "Ontario has just been named the least happy province to work in, plunging to the bottom of the national list with a score of just 6.7/10 in June 2025." Taking into account all the above-mentioned primary and secondary indicators, the Canadian average for workplace happiness falls around 6.8/10. Gen X is the most despondent of any working age group, with a score of 6.6/10 in this latest index. Ways that participants said their employers could improve workplace satisfaction range from permitting more flexible hours and encouraging vacation to fostering positive workplace relationships.
