Being certified as a Leading Workplace demonstrates your organization’s commitment to creating a thriving, high-performing work environment. It enhances your employer brand, attracts top talent, boosts employee retention, and provides valuable insights into workplace culture and engagement.
The IMPACT Index survey evaluates 6 key aspects of employee experience, including Inclusion, Meaning, Progression, Autonomy, Collaboration and Trust. It provides data-driven insights to help organizations identify strengths and areas for improvement.
