BusinessWorld has partnered with WorkL, a leading employee experience platform that helps companies like yours to measure, track, and improve staff engagement.
Together with WorkL, we’re on a journey to find and celebrate the very best organizations with consistently high levels of positive employee experience in the Philippines.
About WorkL
WorkL, founded by Mark Price, former Managing Director of Waitrose and Deputy Chair of the John Lewis Partnership, is the leading global employee experience platform.
WorkL’s benchmarking data from more than 100,000 organizations demonstrates that workplaces with happy and highly engaged employees typically experience higher productivity, reduced staff turnover and sick absence, and higher profits. These workplaces also find it easier to retain employees and recruit new staff.
Hence why, WorkL’s mission is to help individuals work happier and enable organizations to boost commercial performance by prioritizing employee well-being.
With flexible surveys, advanced data insights, and predictive analytics, WorkL empowers businesses to measure, track, and enhance workplace satisfaction.
WorkL proudly powers the prestigious Best Places to Work Awards in partnership with leading publications across the globe — The Times (UK & Ireland), The Australian, Khaleej Times, and Sunday Times South Africa.
About the Best Places to Work Awards, powered by WorkL

How we identify the best workplaces
To identify the best workplaces, WorkL’s employee engagement survey — developed by behavioral scientists, data analysts, and psychologists — focuses on the above-mentioned six key areas essential to workplace engagement.
These six areas form a comprehensive framework to measure how employees feel about their workplace. A highly engaged workplace will perform well across all these dimensions, and your company has already proven it excels here.
How the Awards Survey works
The survey includes 31 questions that measure employee engagement on a 0-10 scale.
Each company’s overall engagement score is calculated by combining responses and presenting them as a percentage.
To qualify for the awards, organizations must achieve a minimum 70% overall engagement score.
To achieve a high overall engagement score, a company must consistently perform well across its six-step framework, encompassing Reward and Recognition, Instilling Pride, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Well-Being and Job Satisfaction.
It’s not possible to trade off one dimension against another — in a highly engaged workplace, all six steps will be seen positively by employees, albeit to varying degrees. An organization’s overall engagement score is the sum of all question responses, divided by the maximum possible value as a percentage.
WorkL’s banding threshold is based on both independent and WorkL-commissioned research on employee engagement initiatives, and is reinforced by WorkL’s benchmarking data of more than 100,000 organizations.
For an accurate representation of employee sentiment, organizations are required to send the survey to as many current employees as possible.
The survey takes five minutes to complete and the platform is fully mobile-optimized.
Organizations are required to complete a supplementary information survey which is analyzed in conjunction with their survey score to help support their entry.
Those participating have to also reach minimum average response rates to qualify across their organization: Very big — 25%, Big — 35%; Medium — 45%; Small — 50%.
