What do the winners stand out for?

World-class workplaces distinguish themselves from other organizations. They listen to their employees and use their feedback and ideas to continuously improve. This has proven to be extremely valuable, particularly over the past year. 

These organizations score high on engagement (7.8), employees are passionate about their work. Customer centricity scores high (7.7), which means that in addition to employees, customers also benefit from a positive organizational culture.

The benefits of measuring employee engagement

Employees experience a great deal of autonomy (7.5), because they are given the freedom to organize their own work. Frameworks and priorities are clear and there is sufficient role clarity (7.3). Now that a lot of work is done at home, these are important conditions for success.
