Our journey & legacy
Pioneering workplace culture for 30+ years
Our journey started by listening. Through in-depth interviews with thousands of employees, we uncovered what truly matters in a workplace. This led us to create the first “best companies” list in 1984. Today we publish 20 lists nationally including the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® List. And globally, over 250 lists. More than just lists, they're a celebration of businesses that prioritize their people.
Setting the gold standard with our Certification
Our research didn't just stop at recognition. It laid the foundation for the Great Place To Work Certification™, a beacon for companies signifying workplace excellence.
Defining our unique model
Influenced by years of meticulous research, we crafted the Great Place To Work Model, ensuring every employee's voice is heard, shaping a workplace where everyone truly belongs

A Great Place to Work For All
“A Great Place To Work For All” shares the essential values that every organization should follow to thrive in the future.– Marc Benioff, Chairman & CEO, Salesforce
The Great Place To Work Model: Trust is the core
Trust forms the heart of an exceptional workplace, as captured by our Great Place To Work Model. According to our research and model, a great workplace is defined by four qualities: Employees trust the people they work for; take genuine pride in their work; enjoy collaborating with their colleagues; and experience a consistent workplace atmosphere, irrespective of their role, identity, or position within the organization. Businesses rooted in trust not only attract the best talent but also achieve significant long-term financial success.
