ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº

Becoming Great Place to Work Certifiedâ„¢ is the first milestone in our recognition process. An organisation that has completed the employee survey process can receive °ä±ð°ù³Ù¾±´Ú¾±³¦²¹³Ù¾±´Ç²Ôâ„¢ at any point in the year, once they have met the minimum 65% Trust Index employee survey threshold, and submitted their Culture Brief telling us about their organisation. Then, through our Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™ Programme we determine the best from the pool of Certifiedâ„¢ organisations via a rigorous assessment process that is based on the outcome of both your Trust Indexâ„¢ survey and other factors.

A minimum of 10 UK-based employees and a Trust Index survey score of 65%+ is required to become Great Place to Work Certified. To also be eligible for our Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº Programme, you will need to earn ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº and pass a rigorous assessment of your organisation's workplace culture by our culture experts.

Great Place to Work® UK provides recognition across multiple categories in annual lists, which are published throughout the year.

We are unique in measuring an organisation¨¨™s culture, the benefit of which is that we can also benchmark policies and people practices with Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™ of a similar size and industry. No other employee experience survey compares what leaders think they are delivering with what is actually being experienced by employees.

Moreover, we provide outstanding organisations with recognition in other countries where they have offices; other continents (Europe's Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™) and globally (World's Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™).

You will not lose previous data. We are highly experienced in ensuring the smooth transition from an existing questionnaire to our Trust Indexâ„¢ employee survey. Being able to track 'trend' comparisons on individual questions across time is a crucial requirement if you already have employee data from your current survey. This is true for many of our clients, who have an established survey that has been used for several years. Customisation of our Trust Indexâ„¢ format allows you to track and compare data on bespoke historic engagement questions.

Participation in our Great Place To Work Certifiedâ„¢ benchmark study takes the form of an employee survey (called the Trust Index) accompanied by the Culture Brief short questionnaire regarding the history and demographics of your workplace, completed by your organisation's HR team.

Organisations that have 10+ employees will be Great Place To Work Certified when their overall Trust Index score is 65% or higher.

The ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº process will provide important information about the current state of your workplace culture, enabling your leaders to measure, understand, and develop your culture further.

ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº is also the first step to becoming a Best Workplaceâ„¢. Once an organisation is Certified, and provided they meet the specific Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº Trust assessment requirements for their size category, they will receive Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº recognition.

All UK-based and multinational organisations with a UK branch which have 10+ employees are eligible to become Great Place to Work Certified.

ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº is a two-step process that includes surveying your employees and completing a short questionnaire about your workplace history and demographics. Soon after the survey has closed, and provided you have submitted your Culture Brief questionnaire and earned an overall survey score of 65% or higher, you will receive your official °ä±ð°ù³Ù¾±´Ú¾±³¦²¹³Ù¾±´Ç²Ôâ„¢ digital badge, valid for 12 months.

Great Place To Work ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº signals to the world that you have created a company culture your employees love. It proves that your organisation has created a work environment that fosters trust, fairness, respect, and camaraderie among its employees.

At Great Place To Work, we provide comprehensive packages based around our employee survey. Each package offers different levels of data analysis and guidance, along with the opportunity to achieve ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº and earn recognition as one of the Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº. The pricing for these packages is determined by various factors, including the organisation's size, whether it requires a national or international survey, and any specific requirements your organisation may have for the survey and follow-up process.

We typically suggest a 2-week window to launch your survey - and with our survey platform, you're able to view and analyse the results of your survey as soon as the survey closes. Shortly after the survey has closed, and provided you have submitted your Culture Brief questionnaire and earned an overall survey score of 65% or higher, you will receive your official °ä±ð°ù³Ù¾±´Ú¾±³¦²¹³Ù¾±´Ç²Ôâ„¢ digital badge, valid for 12 months.

We use our For Allâ„¢ Model and Methodology to evaluate our pool of Certified great workplaces. Only the top-performing Certified companies who pass a stringent assessment of their company culture and employee experience are recognised as Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº. To become Certified, companies must survey their employees using our flagship assessment, the Trust Index survey, and complete a Culture Brief questionnaire about their workplace.

To be eligible for our Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™ Programme, you will need a minimum of 10 employees, be Great Place to Work Certified and pass the rigorous assessment of your organisation's workplace culture by our culture experts. All eligibility criteria for each Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™ Lists can be found on our upcoming lists calendar.

Ranking on our Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™ lists is no mean feat! We never disclose the names or results of any company which does not receive this recognition, but rather offer to support these organisations to improve their employee experience and achieve better results in the future. 

Our mission is to create a better world by helping organisations become great workplaces for all. ÌìÃÀӰԺ™, which organisations of 10+ employees will receive as long as they hit the 65% Trust Indexâ„¢ employee survey threshold and submit their Culture Briefâ„¢ questionnaire, allows you to signal to the world that you are on the journey to building a better workplace culture.

And our services go beyond recognition, too! We provide bespoke consultancy which enables individual organisations to make continuous improvements based on key data and insights that target their unique set of needs at any given time. All our clients are assigned a dedicated Customer Success Project Manager to help with every step of the process in moving from good to great, including post-survey support.

Organisations must earn ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº by the 'Get Certified' dates specified for each Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº List on our List Deadlines page.

Our Trust Index employee survey and Culture Brief questionnaire are the two tools used to assess organisations of all sizes participating in the Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™ Programme. Together, they enable us to generate accurate and fair measures of employee engagement, trust, fairness, and other critical factors of workplace culture within every organisation participating in the programme. Companies with 1001+ employees are also required to complete a Culture Audit assessment to be eligible for Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº recognition. The Culture Audit contains five required essay questions and allows us to evaluate your company¨¨™s people practices against our For Allâ„¢ model.

No. For many organisations, the Great Place to Work® UK partnership is part of a journey. With this in mind, we often conduct standalone assessments without the need for recognition, to help identify the key drivers that will support you in moving from a good to great workplace for all.

The Culture Brief is a short questionnaire that allows us to build a profile of your company's history and demographics. The information you submit in the Culture Brief will be used to determine your Best ÌìÃÀӰԺ™ List eligibility and must be completed in order for your organisation to become a Certified great workplace.

The Culture Audit is required for companies with 1001+ employees who want to be considered for Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº recognition (not required for ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº). The Culture Audit contains five required essay questions that allow us to evaluate your company¨¨™s people practices against our For Allâ„¢ model.

The Wellbeing Index is comprised of a specific set of 8 core statements from the Trust Indexâ„¢ focusing on employees¨¨™ holistic experiences of wellbeing at work, including their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, social support, and job satisfaction. 

The responses to the wellbeing index are analysed to form a total Index score which must exceed a threshold of 65% in order to be considered for recognition. The results of the wellbeing Index are then passed through our rigorous assessment, paying particular attention to how these employee experiences vary depending on job role, gender, age, and other characteristics to ensure that companies are creating a great workplace For Allâ„¢.

Yes! Our Trust Indexâ„¢ survey is available in over 50 languages, and they¨¨™re all available for you to use at no additional cost.

You don't have to wait for annual list recognition to begin your journey towards creating a better workplace for all! Some organisations partner with us on an annual basis, supplementing main measures with additional pulse surveys throughout the year as a temperature check on their actions. Other clients make frequent pulse checks on a quarterly or even monthly basis. Ultimately, we believe that measures should only be taken at a frequency where you feel important change may happen. 

Employees answer 14 demographic questions and respond to 60 statements across a five-point consistency scale as well as two open-ended questions. Employees generally take 10 to 20 minutes to complete the survey.

You can add custom questions at some subscription tiers. While our core Trust Index statements must remain unedited in order to consider you for Great Place To Work ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº and our awards, we offer different subscription tiers that allow you to add your own open-ended questions, demographic questions, and survey statements. Any additional survey statements which are not required for a specific Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº List will not be evaluated as part of our awards, so you can collect the feedback you find most relevant to your business without it impacting your ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº result.

Yes. Once your survey is closed, you¨¨™ll immediately get (at minimum) an overview of your scores so you can see how your employee experience measures against our key evaluation areas, and how you stack up against our Best ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº benchmarks.
