Crossjoin’s Journey with GPTW
This year, Crossjoin was awarded 5th place in the Best Workplaces for companies with 101 to 200 employees. More recently, in June, we won 2nd place in the Information Technology category.
What is Best Workplaces?
Best Workplaces is a global certification that recognizes organizations with excellent working environments. To do so, it uses employee satisfaction surveys and human resources policy assessments to highlight companies where employees feel valued and motivated. This certification not only enhances the company’s reputation but also attracts and retains qualified talent, reflecting a commitment to employee well-being and development.
Criteria for the Best Workplaces Award
To be eligible for the award, competing companies must meet the following baseline requirements:
- Be already Certified™ by Great Place to Work.
- Have more than 20 employees.
- Complete the Culture Audit© dossier to be audited by the GPTW team.
- Outperform competitors by obtaining the highest score when weighting the Trust Index© score and the Culture Audit© assessment.
What Are the Main Differences Between the Two Awards?
Great Place to Work and Best Workplaces are certifications that recognize excellent working environments but differ in their specific focus and approach:
- Great Place to Work: Focuses heavily on trust and organizational culture. It uses specific methodologies, such as the Trust Index© and the Culture Audit©, to assess internal relationships, leadership behaviors, and trust within the company.
- Best Workplaces: Covers a broader, comparative assessment of overall employee satisfaction and human resources policies. It considers a wide variety of competitive factors across the market to identify and rank the absolute best companies to work for.
