What Makes a Great Place to Work®?

Any company can be a Great Place to Work®!

Our approach is based on the major findings of 20 years of research - that trust between managers and employees is the primary defining characteristic of the very best workplaces.

At the heart of our definition of a great place to work - a place where employees "trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with" - is the idea that a great workplace is measured by the quality of the three, interconnected relationships that exist there:

  • The relationship between employees and management.
  • The relationship between employees and their jobs/company.
  • The relationship between employees and other employees.
"Management is extremely open and honest about goals, issues and methods employed for solving specific problems. Feedback is often solicited from employees. Suggestions are welcomed! It is often this "open communication" that makes it a great place to work."
