About the award

Since 2021, People Insight’s Outstanding Workplace Award has celebrated organisations for achieving a top-quartile engagement score in their People Insight employee engagement survey.

Our award recognises organisations building outstanding workplace cultures and acting on employee feedback to spark positive change.

In 2022, we launched a separate category of the award, celebrating employee engagement within Higher Education. Based on our extensive Higher Education benchmark, we have developed separate criteria for this award – detailed further down.

Award criteria

To be eligible for People Insight’s all-sector Outstanding Workplace Award, organisations must achieve:

  • 85% or higher employee engagement score 
  • 70% or higher survey response rate 
  • 5x PEARL engagement questions

The award is only applicable to People Insight employee surveys. It can be achieved year-on-year if organisations maintain or improve their  levels of engagement.

What makes an outstanding workplace culture?

An outstanding workplace culture is found in organisations that have designed their strategy with employees at the heart.

They have considered key moments of the employee journey (candidacy, onboarding, performing, growth and exit), and developed strategies to deliver a consistently outstanding employee experience.

They have listened to their employees and critically – acted on their feedback resulting in a positive change in employees’ day-to-day experience.

Why does company culture matter?

Company culture is a huge factor when it comes to the employee experience. You could describe it as the “vibe” employees get when they are part of your organisation.

Company culture can either energise or drain employees, and affects employee engagement, productivity and performance. Over time, and by measuring engagement and culture, you will get a better grasp of what works for your company, what yields the best results and what processes, traditions or behaviours influence how your employees feel.
