The benchmark for truly exceptional workplaces
The Excellent Workplace is setting new standards for organizations across the globe. Its rating evaluates organizations across 14 categories that reflect the full employee lifecycle and draw on self-determination theory, focusing on human motivation. From hiring practices to leadership, from culture to career development, the framework provides a holistic view of what defines outstanding workplaces today.
Participation benefits
What are the benefits of being rated?
You gain valuable benchmarking insights, uncover strengths and areas for development, and receive a trusted award logo to enhance your employer brand. The rating not only drives internal growth but also boosts external visibility, remaining valid for up to two years. Being rated provides your organization with a clear, data-driven perspective on workplace structure and performance dynamics across 14 categories and three key motivation dimensions.
Understand the difference
How the Excellent Workplace rating differs from rankings
Please note: The Excellent Workplace rating does not influence Best Employers ranking positions.
Excellent Workplace Rating
Recognizes companies around the globe via a rating system
Companies apply voluntarily to be evaluated and rated.
To receive a rating, employers submit data through an HR audit survey and can optionally add an employee survey.
The evaluation is based on 14 categories that reflect the full employee lifecycle, such as onboarding, development, and leadership, and is grounded in self-determination theory focusing on human motivation.
Depending on the chosen package, organizations receive a data-based workplace report, benchmark comparisons, and an official award logo.
The rating is valid for up to two years and can be renewed through re-evaluation.
Best Employers Ranking
Top employers ranked in many countries across the world
Top-performing employers are identified in a public annual list.
No registration or application is required to be considered.
Companies are ranked based on a combination of employee insights and external reputation signals.
A scoring model determines the position in the ranking independently of any participation in other processes.
Being recognized as an Excellent Workplace has no influence on placement in the Best Employers Ranking.
