To take part in our Great Place To Work® Certification™ process, your organization’s HR department must complete the Culture Brief, a brief survey on the background and structure of your workplace, along with an employee survey known as the Trust Index.

When an organization’s Trust Index score is 64.5% or above, they are eligible to become Great Place To Work® Certified™.

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

Certification is also the first step to becoming a Best Workplace™. Once an organization is Certified™, and provided they meet the specific Best Workplaces™ Trust assessment requirements for their size category, they will receive Best Workplaces™ recognition.

To become Certified™, you must first survey your staff and then answer a brief questionnaire about your work history and demographics. As soon as the survey closes, you will receive your official Certification™ digital badge, which is valid for a year, if you completed your Culture Brief questionnaire and received a complete survey score of 64.5% or higher.

Great Place To Work® Certification™ lets the world know that your workplace has a great work culture where employees feel supported and appreciated for their work. It shows that your company has created an atmosphere at work that fosters credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.

At Great Place To Work®, we provide three comprehensive packages: Assess™, Analyse™, and Accelerate™, all based around our employee survey. Each package offers different levels of data analysis and guidance, along with the opportunity to achieve Certification™ and earn recognition as one of the Best Workplaces™. The pricing for these packages is determined by various factors, including the organization’s size, whether it requires a national or international survey, and any specific requirements your organization may have for the survey and follow-up process. Read more about our packages here.

We typically suggest a 2-week window to launch your survey – and with our survey platform, you’re able to view and analyze 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 64.5% or higher, you will receive your official Certification™ digital badge, valid for 12 months.

Being a Certified™ great workplace has several benefits for an organization. It serves as a valuable external validation of your company’s commitment to its employees which, in turn, will enhance your reputation as an employer of choice. It can also attract and retain high-quality talent, improve employee engagement and satisfaction, and contribute to overall business success.
