Is Your Business A Great Place To Work?

Is a Great Place To Work the certainty of choosing your employer right? For 25 years, the eponymous organization issues has been delivering labels and certifications. A great way to improve and maintain your employer reputation! But how do you become a Great Workplace?

A reconnaissance program, a kind of field survey

First, you must apply for certification by contacting GPW. Businesses must pay to participate. However, for Patrick Dumoulin, President of GPW France, this does not affect the quality of the companies certified.

What for? Because then a field survey is carried out. You must get minimum scores in two tests.

  • The first is the Trust Index. You must get a minimum score of 70%. This survey focuses on the level of trust that employees attribute to the employer, the pride they derive from their jobs, and internal solidarity.
  • The second is the “Culture Audit”: The asking score is 30/60. It is here the corporate culture that is examined.

Once this first step has passed, you get (or not) certification, which is valid for 1 year.

Annual awards and media visibility

In addition to this selection, GPW annually defines an annual list of the best companies in terms of quality of life at work. This award is published in the journal Challenges, which offers a good media visibility to your structure.

This year, among the first of the Awards, we find: Norauto, Salesforce, Extia, Leboncoin, Ubisoft, SAP France, Just Eat, Delivroo… So a clear predominance of digital companies. So why not you?

Precise evaluation criteria

On the GPW website, the team highlights 5 essential dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, friendliness. So many parameters that you can also measure with a social barometer !

In terms of management

A company where it is good to work is also a company that achieves its objectives, all in a climate of trust. GPW focuses on listening and communication in its investigation. In more specific terms:
