Toolkit Best Workplaces 2023 | Great Place To Work

A wonderful accomplishment to be among the 40 Best Workplaces (top 10 per category) out of a whopping 187 participating organizations. We ask you to keep this news small internally and not to share it yet externally. This year we will announce the Best Workplaces online on Tuesday, May 16th.

The presentation of the awards and the announcement of the ranking will take place during Walk Your Talk, an experience route through Utrecht, on Friday, June 2nd from 2PM until 7PM.

On this page you'll find information about the awards, the event and answers to frequently asked questions.

Walk Your Talk

War on talent. Culture of fear. Transgressive behavior. Burnouts and poor management. All terms we hear far too often. And, if it were up to us, completely unnecessary. Everyone deserves a workplace where trust is key, where you can grow and there is room for innovation. Demand is enormous. Promises often all the greater.

It's time to turn plans into action. And to wake up every organization to the fact that the opportunities are there.

Sign up as a frontrunner and join us during Walk Your Talk at:

June 2, 2023 - 2:00 PM - 7:00 PM - Utrecht

I will join the walk!

What does it mean to be a Best Workplace?

Building trust in organizations: that's our mission. Through the Best Workplaces Awards, we recognize employers who have succeeded in this and provide a platform.

The first step to being a Best Workplace is certification. This requires a score of 70% or higher on the Trust Index.

The 40 highest scoring organizations (calculated according to the Great Place To Work For All formula) per category are a Best Workplace.

This year we are presenting the awards for the 21st time in the Netherlands.

Which categories are there and how many organizations participated per category?

A total of 327 organizations completed the Trust Index employee survey. Of those, 225 are certified (68%). And of those, 187 organizations are participating in the Best Workplaces 2023.

The list of Best Workplaces consists of a top 10 by category:

Small: 10 out of 69 participants
Medium: 10 out of 74 participants
Large: 10 out of 17 participants
Multinational: 10 out of 27 participants

When will the Best Workplaces be announced?

This year, we are highlighting the Best Workplaces on two occasions. On Tuesday, May 16th at 13:00 PM we will announce the 40 organizations through our socials and a press release.

On Friday, June 2, from 14:00 to 19:00 PM, the Walk Your Talk event will follow. This event is all about walking together for a healthy workplace for all. At the end of the walk, we will physically present the Best Workplaces Awards and you will hear which spot your organization is in.

What is Walk Your Talk?

This year we want to make a joint statement to bring good employment practices to everyone's attention. As a Best Workplace, your organization plays an important role in this! That is why we want to bring people (including non-Best Workplaces) together during Walk Your Talk.

During this route through Utrecht you will experience different themes and you can connect with each other. At the end of the day we will once again put the spotlight on all Best Workplaces by presenting the awards and announcing the ranking.

How can I register for Walk Your Talk?

We would like to give all Best Workplaces the opportunity to come. Therefore, there is a limit of 10 people per organization.
