Global Programme

“To be recognised as great provides a solid platform for continued greatness”

The Great Place to Work^® Institute is best known for its global Best Workplaces Programme. Our initiative researches, identifies and recognises leading workplaces in more than 45 countries worldwide, including 18 national programmes in Europe.

Based on the views of over 1.8 million employees, the programme is the world’s largest study of workplace excellence and people management practices. The rankings and findings are published annually in prestigious media channels, such as the Financial Times and Fortune.

Being much more than rankings, our programme is designed to equip organisations and leaders with the knowledge and tools that they need to create a healthy workplace and an engaged workforce. The report and feedback you receive is packed with practical tips and tools to help you to transform your workplace into a powerful source of competitive advantage. Our programme encompasses three areas:

Measurement and benchmarking

Access to thought leadership through research

Best people practice and knowledge sharing
