Great Place to Work (GPTW)<\/a> is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors. Through in-depth employee feedback surveys, GPTW recognizes companies that foster environments where people feel respected, empowered, and engaged.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earning this certification isn\u2019t just about perks or benefits\u2014it\u2019s about creating a workplace where trust, collaboration, and inclusivity thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certification Nation Day<\/a>, celebrated every October, highlights organizations that have achieved Great Place to Work certification based on employee feedback collected in the Trust Index survey<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feedback, which GPTW collects, anonymizes, and returns to participating organizations, provides an opportunity for companies to reflect on their achievements, celebrate their teams, and continue the work of maintaining a positive, inclusive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
