Best Workplaces™ 2023
Congratulations, your organization is among this year's Best Workplaces!
War on talent. Culture of fear. Transgressive behavior. Burnouts and mismanagement. Terms we hear far too often. Everyone deserves a workplace where trust is central, 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.
The theme of this year's Best Workplaces Awards is Walk Your Talk. On Friday, June 2, together with 250+ runners, we walked an interactive route through Utrecht to draw attention to being a good employer. Afterwards we announced the ranking of the Best Workplaces.

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.
