Best Workplaces™ 2023

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.

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

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.

• After the webinar on April 20th, you will find templates for an internal winner's message and a press release in this online toolkit.

• During the webinar, we will also provide practical tips that you can use for internal and external branding.

• You will receive the photo from the photo shoot on May 10th, 11th or 12th that you can use on your social media.

• You will receive the Best Workplaces 2023 logo that you can use internally and externally from May 16th.

• You will receive the physical Best Workplaces Award. Will you give it a nice spot?

You can use the logo from Tuesday 16 May for your internal and external communication. 

For example, you can use the logo here:
