Every organization can be a great place to work
On average, an organization in the Netherlands scores 58% on the Trust Index. Therefore, achieving a score of 70% or higher is therefore a real achievement. Moreover, a score lower than 70% is not a loss, but a starting point to work on your organizational culture.
We do not disclose which organizations do not achieve the certificate.
Are you hesitant to participate, because you think your organization does not score high enough yet? Then start with a baseline measurement to gain insight into where you are now, so you can start working on the right themes.
