Good Place to Work
A credible signal of workplace quality, awarded only to organizations whose own employees rate them 75% or higher across 15 rigorous categories — verified, dated and public.
Why certification matters
A public, third-party signal that your workplace culture is real, not just a careers-page slogan.
Give candidates, investors, press and analysts a public, third-party score they can independently verify.
A verified score gives serious candidates a reason to trust your listings over a generic careers page.
Reinforce your employer value proposition internally with a credible, employee-sourced benchmark to track over time.
Claimed certificates unlock press-ready assets and logo lockups for announcements and recruiting campaigns.
A dedicated organization page showing your score, category breakdown, trend over time, and employee comments.
Embed the badge on your careers site, job posts and LinkedIn; every badge links back to live, current verification.
Compare your score against industry peers across all 15 categories, refreshed as new data comes in.
Every certificate is signed, dated and QR-verifiable, and can be revoked — this is not a self-reported employer review.

What the certification unlocks for employers
Certification is not just a badge — it's a set of practical advantages that compound the longer you hold it.
A verified score gives fence-sitting candidates the confidence to accept an offer over a competitor with no independent proof.
A public, credible score reinforces the employer value proposition internally and gives teams a benchmark to keep improving.
Increasingly requested in vendor and enterprise RFPs as evidence of a stable, well-managed culture.
Press-ready badges, logo lockups and a media kit you can use across careers pages, job posts and campaigns.
See exactly how you compare to industry peers across all 15 categories, refreshed as new certifications come in.
A dated, third-party-verified record that culture is being actively measured and maintained, not just assumed.
Requirements
Every certification must meet these criteria before it is issued.
An overall score of 75% or higher (3.75 out of 5.00), averaged across all 15 categories.
At least 5 work-email-verified employee responses collected within a single 90-day survey window.
No single category may fall below 60%. A single failing category is enough to block certification.
Surveys are collected independently of the employer, who sees only aggregated scores, never raw responses.
How you get certified
Team members complete a short, anonymous survey covering 15 workplace categories.
Scores are averaged, checked against category floors, and screened for duplicate or fraudulent responses.
Cross 75% and a signed, QR-verifiable certificate is issued automatically and listed on your public profile.
Claim the certificate to unlock the badge embed, media kit and press assets for your own channels.
Who it's for
Any organization with 5 or more employees, from early-stage startups to global enterprises. Certification is judged on the employee experience you deliver, not on headcount, funding or industry.
Common questions
12 months from the issue date. You can open a fresh survey window and re-certify at any time before or after it expires.
No. Every survey is anonymous by default, and employers only ever see aggregate, non-attributable scores.
You receive a private, category-by-category diagnostic instead of a public badge, and can act on it before opening a re-survey.
No. Individual responses stay private; only aggregate, anonymized scores appear in rankings and public profiles.
