How does the happiest country in the world do business? According to Samu Hallförs, chief executive of the Finnish headquartered video conferencing company Framery, safety is paramount.

“You need to act according to the values of your company. Words alone won’t cut it. If you’re saying it’s safe enough to take risks and fail, employees need to see how an organisation behaves when it faces failure.”
