UK vs America Work Culture

It is common knowledge that we share a number of similarities with America, whether it be history, love of the same pop culture or even the colours in our flags, however when it comes to working culture, you might be surprised at how many differences there are.

American expansion experts; Foothold America, have put together an infographic which details some of the main similarities and differences between UK & American work culture. It is no secret that Americans work very much in the fast lane, and in some ways so do the UK, but in many ways we are worlds apart when it comes to the benefits, pay and the way we work.

For example, did you know…

  • The average salary for a Senior Manager in the UK is £52,000, compared to $104,940 (£79,544.59)in the US
  • The minimum amount of paid holiday leave British workers are entitled to by law is 6 weeks. In the US, workers are entitled to 0 weeksby law.
  • Women in the UK are entitled to take 52 weeksfor maternity leave by law, whereas women in the US are only entitled to take 12 weeks off work, this is without guaranteed pay

It is almost quite shocking how stark some of the differences are. They do however open up a number of questions.  Do the amount of working benefits received in the UK increase motivation to work? Would Americans rather have the benefits over a higher wage? Are either country actually aware of the differences and would they challenge their employers if they did?

Take a look at the infographic below, to see for yourself what other similarities and more so, differences there are between the two working cultures.  If you thought it was only the use of the English language that was different, you’re in for a few surprises!
