About the Great Place To Work certification

We believe the voice of the employee is most important. That’s why this certification is 100% based on the Trust Index™ employee survey. This survey consists of 60 statements on various themes. With this survey, we measure trust, pride and fun in organizations.

These are the requirements for certification:

  • A score of 70% or higher on the Trust Index;
  • A minimum response rate;
  • A completed Culture Brief™.

The certificate is valid for one year. Organizations with the highest scores on the Trust Index have a chance to make the Best Workplaces™ list.

Working at ProQR

At ProQR, the onboarding introduces new hires to our culture and teams. Day one includes a warm welcome, team lunch, and a ProQR goodie bag. In the first week, new ProQRians visit key departments, tour the labs, join a lunch with the MT, and hear from our CEO. Our monthly Coffee and Collaboration event fosters connection across the company.
