About Great Place to Work® Netherlands
For more than 25 years, Great Place to Work® has helped organizations worldwide become and remain Great Workplaces. Great Place to Work® aims to guide and develop an organizational culture where trust, pride, and employee satisfaction are central by using the method that was developed in the early eighties by journalists Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz who wrote a book about the 100 best US companies to work for. Based on numerous visits, they formulated a number of criteria for a “Great Workplace,” which suggested that the relationship between employees and managers in any organization was central. They found that the more mutual trust there was in an organization, the better employees and managers found working for that organization. Great Place to Work® supports organizations through research, advice, workshops, and trainings, and works with businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies in 47 countries on all continents. The Institute, headquartered in San Francisco, publishes 47 country lists each year. Annually, 6,000 organizations worldwide participated in this study, representing approximately 12 million employees. This is the largest study of its kind. www.greatplacetowork.nl
