    Globally, the Best Workplace™ survey is the largest survey of workplace cultures and people practices. The methodology that creates the various Best Workplace™ rankings is one of the most rigorous and highly sought after, and regarded as the ‘gold standard’ of employer awards.

    The Institute captures valuable employee feedback using a research-driven Trust Index™ survey, alongside details about the programmes and practises that make the Covernet workplace unique.

    Lee Stuart, Managing Director of Covernet said: “Our position on this prestigious list is driven by an annual people engagement survey which measures the extent to which everyone in the organisation reported a consistently great workplace experience, considering factors such as physical and mental wellbeing, fairness, camaraderie and trust in our leadership.”

     When Trust Index™ results are 65% or higher, the organisation is Great Place to Work-Certifie. Covernet excelled in this regard, achieving an outstanding score of 97%.

    The Great Place to Work Certification is valid for 12 months and Covernet will automatically be considered for placement on the annual Best Workplaces™ lists.
