Benchmarking outstanding workplaces
The Excellent Workplace Rating
Introduction
Excellent Workplaces – The Approach
Statista and TIME Magazine present the Excellent Workplace rating, a comprehensive benchmarking system for organizations across the globe. Grounded in data and best practices, companies are evaluated along the employee lifecycle and the latest scientific frameworks on employee motivation.
Companies submit their data through a detailed HR audit as well as an optional employee survey. The submitted data is thoroughly validated and evaluated by our data experts here at Statista. Eligible companies receive the Excellent Workplace award and are featured on the Statista and TIME website.
Please note, since this is a new project, the official rating list will be published following the initial research phase.

Rating dimensions
Methodology Overview
Our methodology is grounded in the principles of modern motivational psychology (self-determination theory) and focuses on what truly drives people at work. It is built around three dimensions of human motivation: Autonomy, Competence and Relatedness.
To capture the depth and dynamics of the workplace, these dimensions are measured across 14 categories that span the entire employee lifecycle - from recruitment and onboarding to development, leadership, collaboration, and exit.
By aligning the principles of motivational psychology with the natural flow of the employee lifecycle, the methodology delivers targeted insights that help organizations understand where motivation thrives, and where it needs to be strengthened.
Autonomy
The ability to act with purpose and self-direction.
Competence
The experience of growth, mastery, and meaningful contribution.
Relatedness
The sense of belonging, connection, and mutual support.
