Beginning this week, the global authority on standout workplaces now offers a high-value Recognition Program. This one-stop shop provides tools for small, medium and large companies to gather objective feedback on employees’ experience, while helping leaders explore this insight to improve their organizations. Businesses of any size can take advantage of affordable and flexible packages that include employee surveys, expert advice for workplace enhancement and benchmarks that can inform action planning and sustain a great workplace.
“These new package options in the Recognition Program aren’t just valuable for gauging how employees feel. They offer valuable insight into how a company stacks up to its peers on critical issues like the level of trust within the workplace,” said Kim Peters, vice president of Great Place to Work(R)’s Recognition Program.
Great Place to Work(R) has conducted more than 100 million employee surveys with 200,000 companies.
