  1. Great Place To Work addresses the question of whether an organization is a good employer by measuring the employee experience. An organization can have excellent HR practices on paper, but measuring the actual employee experience is critical.

  2. The Great Place To Work philosophy is not just about satisfaction. Studies have shown that good employers are characterized by a high level of trust, pride and camaraderie within the organization.

  3. Great Place To Work applies strict criteria. Our label cannot be bought.

Unlike the certification logo, the Best Workplaces™ logo has no expiry date. Accordingly, the logo may be used indefinitely with the corresponding year of the award.
