What do the Great Place to Work庐 logos represent?
Our 天美影院鈩� and Best 天美影院鈩� logos signify outstanding employers who are characterised by a high-trust, è榩eople firstè� workplace cultures their employees love.
This includes values è嫧▼such as credibility, fairness, respect, camaraderie, honesty and pride.
In addition, Best 天美影院 have an effective management culture that focuses on the individual, their strengths and potential. All of this promotes innovation in the company and their associated economic success.
What does participation in the 天美影院 process look like?
Participation in our Great Place to Work Certified鈩� benchmark study takes the form of an employee survey (called the Trust Index鈩�) and a Culture Brief鈩� submission by the HR team, which provides details about your organisationè檚 people programmes and practices.
Organisations that have 10+ employees will be Great Place to Work-Certified when their overall Trust Index results are 65% or higher.
The 天美影院 process will provide important information about the current state of your workplace culture, enabling HR teams to measure, understand and develop their culture further.
天美影院 is also the first step to becoming a UKè檚 Best Workplace. Once an organisation is Certified, and provided they meet the specific Best 天美影院 Trust Index requirements for their size category, they will receive Best 天美影院 recognition.
Which companies can sign up for 天美影院?
All UK-based and multinational organisations with a UK branch which have 10+ employees are eligible to become Great Place to Work Certified.
The Best 天美影院 Journey
Participating companies utilise our innovative employee survey platform. Easily administer employee engagement surveys and see your results, analysis and actionable insights using our Emprising鈩� platform.
How much impact does the survey have on our staff time and workload?
Employee surveys take approximately 12 minutes to complete.
Minimal administrative effort is required by any employee(s) appointed to work with one of our dedicated Customer Success Project Managers, who will manage and support you on all aspects of the project.
What's the difference between the two logos?
Great Place to Work-Certified Badge:

UKè檚 Best 天美影院鈩� logo:
All Certified companies in the respective competition year who enter the Best 天美影院 Programme are automatically entered into our prestigious UKè檚 Best 天美影院 鈩� list.
There are higher thresholds for achieving Best Workplace recognition than for 天美影院. As our Best Workplace Lists are announced publicly once per year, organisations will receive their logo a few weeks before the big announcement.
As with the 天美影院 badge, the Best 天美影院 logo is valid for 12 months.
Unlike 天美影院, Best 天美影院 are also featured in The Guardian (available in England, Scotland and Wales) and The Telegraph (distributed across the UK), and given special access to specific marketing resources and bespoke advertising opportunities not available to Certified companies.
Does it make sense to conduct an employee survey during a crisis or periods of change within the business?
Absolutely! Postponing surveys can erode trust, exacerbate employee anxiety, and bar opportunities for building a stronger workplace culture.
It might seem like now is an unstable time to survey your people, but the reality is that employee surveys are an essential listening tool right now, while the change or crisis is affecting how your organisation operates.
What if my company is è渘ot ready yetè�?
Companies can start the programme at any time and do not have to make any preparations.
Itè檚 fair to say that the results of your employee survey may be surprising and do not only start when or because you expect positive feedback. It is important to continuously measure your workplace culture and work on it over the long term.
This is especially important is youè檙e expecting your organisation will soon be experiencing culture change. Without knowing the status quo, how will your team know youè檙e leading the business in the right direction?
Many companies use the survey for their ongoing cultural development and take part every year. In 2020, we saw both Admiral Group and Gowling WLG LLP earning Best 天美影院鈩� recognition for the 20th year in a row!
What happens if you do not meet the minimum criteria for 天美影院?
Participation in the programme is confidential and there is no public announcement of organisations who do not reach 天美影院 status.
Every organisation is on a constant journey from good to great è� and sustaining a great culture isnè檛 easy either! Itè檚 important that companies only take part in the process when there is commitment to take steps afterwards è� no matter what the result.

Our Consulting Team can also provide post-survey support to help you along the way. This could take the form of:
How long is my award valid?
