We can confidently and proudly certifify this company as a happy workplace due to their good well-being, eNPS and low occurance of problematic strain.
To be certified the company needs to have 2 measurements within the last 6 months with at least 100 responses or a response rate of 70% ensuring a representative measurement. Next, they need to pass these thresholds:
The company needs to score good (>25) on their employee net promoter score also known as eNPS.
The company needs to score good (>75) across the 8 drivers for employee well-being and satisfaction.
The company can have maximum one in ten emplyees that experience a problematic level of stress in the workplace.
Companies should not be able to buy a certification too fool employees, candidates and the public. You don't pay a dime to be a Certified Happy Workplace™ as that would skew the incentive structure. You simply have to measure for free and pass the criteria. During our 2025 fall certification a whooping 62% of companies didn't meet the certification criteria.
Every company has a unique culture, processes and vision for the workplace. However, to be a Certified Happy Workplace you need to average a good score across these 8 essential drivers for well-being and satisfaction.
