Great Place To Work Lab @ HWZ

A platform for value-adding workplace culture

At the Great Place To Work Lab @ HWZ, we want to break new ground in understanding and shaping organizational cultures. We provide a platform where people and companies can approach and discuss the topic of collaboration in organizations from different perspectives.

In our view, on one hand the development of culture contributes to value creation of organizations. On the other hand, it should also serve the identification, self-efficacy and well-being of people in the workplace.

The Great Place To Work Lab @ HWZ is a collaboration between Great Place To Work Switzerland and the HWZ Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration. Through this collaboration, we aim to provide a platform that facilitates the transfer of scientific findings into practice. And conversely, to give companies the opportunity to examine current issues and challenges using scientific methods, develop proposed solutions and derive concrete measures.
