The Love of Workplace Index® is a highly valuable and validated assessment that is fast, and easy to use. The pulse validation measures the degree of love employees have for your company. It measures your levels of collaboration; how positive workers feel about their future at the company; how much employee values align with employer values; respect at all levels; and career achievement. The Love of Workplace Index® pulse validation takes employees between 3-4 minutes to complete and is a prerequisite of certification.
The list was created with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development center, and think tank. BPI has conducted extensive research to identify the specific management practices that lead to employee motivation and satisfaction and to document the strong link between worker satisfaction and productivity and performance. Based on that research, BPI measured five basic areas, via surveys, to determine how employees feel about where they work to create the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® list: the level of collaboration at the firm; how positive workers are about their future at the company; how much employer values align with employee values; respect at all levels; and career achievement.
BPI has surveyed more than 1.4 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 10,000; additionally, BPI interviewed several hundred company officials.
