Definition of a great workplace

When people think of a great workplace, they often picture an organisation with lavish perks, fancy parties and amazing benefits. While those elements can be found in many of the well-known Best Workplaces™, the definition of a great workplace goes far deeper.

In fact, at its core, a great workplace is about the level of trust that employees have in their leaders, the amount of pride they take in their jobs and the extent to which they enjoy working with their colleagues.

While trust, pride and camaraderie are far more challenging to sustain than a great set of perks, they are all attainable by any organisation willing to work on them.

Forty years of research and experience have enabled us to define what it means to be a great workplace, to understand how to measure trust in the workplace and to develop the tools your organisation needs to become a Great Place To Work.

The Great Place To Work Model

A great workplace is one where employees trust the people they work for, take pride in the work they do, and enjoy the people they work with. Moreover, this experience must be consistent for every employee, regardless of their role, background, or work location.

01

TRUST IN YOUR LEADERS.

Trust between employees and leaders is the foundation of a great employee experience. Leaders build high levels of trust through consistent demonstration of credibility, respect, and fairness for their employees.

Credibility is built by fulfilling promises and being competent, authentic, and honest.

Respect is demonstrated and earned by showing genuine care for employees.

Fairness is practiced by ensuring all employees have opportunities for growth and recognition.

02

PRIDE IN YOUR WORK.

Employees at great workplaces take pride in their work and their company. When employees feel they make a difference and that their work is more than a job, it creates a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in their work, leading to higher levels of morale and motivation.

 

03

CAMARADERIE IN YOUR TEAM.

Employees at great workplaces often describe their colleagues as friends or "like family." These strong connections between and among co-workers lead to a sense of belonging to each other and the organisation.

 

04

FOR ALL.

A great employee experience is consistently and universally excellent, encompassing everyone in the organisation, irrespective of their role, background, or time spent at the organisation. 'For All' means everyone.
