Good Place to Work
The gold standard for workplace credibility. Awarded to organizations whose own employees rate them 75% or higher across 15 rigorous categories — verified, dated and public.
Why certification matters

Signal a healthy workplace to top candidates, investors, press and analysts with a public, verifiable score.
Certified employers see measurably higher application quality and shorter time-to-hire on senior roles.
Reinforce your employer value proposition. Certified companies report ~23% lower voluntary attrition.
Premium plan ships with press assets, logo lockups and a feature mention across our channels.
A dedicated organization page showing your score, category radar, trends and employee comments.
Embed the badge on your careers site, job posts and LinkedIn — every badge links to live verification.
See how your score compares to industry peers across all 15 categories, updated continuously.
Every certificate is signed, dated, QR-verifiable and revocable — no self-reported employer reviews.
Certificate preview
Sample of the actual certificate awarded to Good Place to Work organizations.
For achieving a verified employee satisfaction score of 87% across 15 independently audited workplace categories.
Requirements
Every certification meets these non-negotiable criteria.
Overall score of 75% or higher (3.75 / 5.00) across all 15 categories.
At least 5 verified employee responses within a 90-day survey window.
No single category may score below 60%. One toxic category invalidates the certification.
Surveys are collected independently. Employer cannot see raw responses — only aggregated scores.
How you get certified
Team members complete a 3-minute anonymous survey across 15 workplace categories.
Scores are averaged, weighted for category floors, and cross-checked for duplicate responses.
If you clear 75%, a signed, QR-verified certificate is auto-issued and listed publicly.
Claim the certificate to unlock the media kit, careers-page embed and press assets.
Who it's for
Any organization with 5+ employees — from bootstrapped startups to global enterprises. Certification is judged on the employee experience you deliver, not on your headcount, funding or industry.
Common questions

No. Surveys are anonymous by default. Only aggregate scores are ever shown to employers.
You receive a private diagnostic breakdown instead of a public badge. You can improve and re-survey later.
Never. Individual responses are private. Only aggregate, anonymized scores are used for rankings and public profiles.
