What is a Certified Amazing Workplace?
Amazing Workplaces genuinely care about the happiness of their employees and customers.
It means that 70% of employees have independently verified that they are often satisfied, happy, or very happy at their workplace. This is very impressive or "amazing." This is no small achievement.
An Amazing Workplace has made a commitment to their employees and customers. Amazing workplaces actively measure and work to improve happiness. It is quite amazing that these workplaces focus on what matters most to their people – happiness.
Workplaces may receive certification by conducting a Happiness Conversation through the Amazing Workplace Platform™. Workplaces who independently verify that 70% or more of their people (employees) often feel satisfied, happy, or very happy are certified as an Amazing Workplace for that calendar year.
How is Employee Happiness Measured?
Conversations are for People. Surveys are for Monkeys.
