The understanding of what constitutes a desirable workplace has evolved considerably over the last decade. This shift follows the rise—and subsequent decline in some sectors—of remote and flexible working arrangements, alongside an expansion of employee benefits. Presently, most employees define a positive workplace by opportunities for career advancement, a sense of belonging, and a clear purpose. For businesses, the focus is on engagement, innovation, and sustained success. With the introduction of a new Excellent Workplace rating, TIME and Statista are uniting these perspectives to establish a fresh global benchmark for employer excellence.
The Excellent Workplace rating assesses organizations across 14 categories that encompass the entire employee journey, drawing upon self-determination theory with a focus on human motivation. The framework examines elements such as hiring practices, leadership, company culture, career development, and more to identify outstanding workplaces today. Participating companies have the option to choose between a comprehensive HR audit, or an expanded alternative that combines the audit with an employee survey, in order to receive a rating.
