Certification

The Trust Index is our employee survey. This survey consists of 60 statements and 2 open questions. The Trust Index allows you to find out what your own employees think is going well, but also what could be improved. 

To become certified, you must conduct the Trust Index in your organization and achieve a score of 70% or higher. This means that at least 70% of your employees must give positive answers to the 60 statements in the Trust Index. 

The cost of certification is always customized. Every organization is unique, which is why we tailor the process completely to your situation and needs.

Would you like a price indication? Then schedule a no-obligation meeting.

The length of a course varies by organization and depends on several factors, for example:

• The package you choose

• How many employees work in your organization

• How quickly you can and want to change gears

After you sign your contract, the process (from preparation for the Trust Index to certification) takes an average of 8 weeks.

But this is only an average. For example, it is also possible to complete the entire process in 4 weeks.

Many organizations choose Great Place To Work because of certification . Understandably so, because certification strengthens your employer brand. And that's a good thing in a job market that has never been tighter.

But certification can also be a barrier. Are you nervous about joining because you're afraid you won't score high enough? Then remember that certification is not the only or main goal. So a score lower than 70% is not a loss, but rather a starting point to build a strong culture.

The Trust Index tells you where there are still gains to be made and provides concrete tools to get started. That way you know exactly what you can work on to achieve that certificate. Moreover, you not only gain insight into areas for improvement, but you also discover what is already going well.

We do not disclose which organizations have not achieved the certificate.

The certificate is valid for one year. Then you conduct the Trust Index again among your employees, and if you meet the conditions, you are certified for another year.

To participate in certification, an organization must meet the following conditions:

• The organization has its own legal entity.

• The organization has its own name and a recognizable logo and is thus known to customers and consumers.

• At least 10 people work for the organization.

• The organization is based in the Netherlands.

• The survey is conducted among employees working in the Netherlands.

• The survey is conducted among all employees.
