Great Place to Work certification validates a company's high-trust employee experience through a rigorous third-party assessment process. The process involves administering an employee survey, completing a culture brief, and for top companies, a culture audit. Certification makes companies eligible for prestigious Best Workplaces lists and provides marketing benefits to attract top talent while boosting business performance. Completing the three-step certification process within set timeframes results in official Great Place to Work certification and eligibility for recognition on Best Workplaces lists for one year.
