Read on to discover more about Great Place to Work, the rigorous selection process for certified companies, and WP Engine’s history of certification by Great Place to Work.

WP Engine Poland’s Great Place to Work journey

WP Engine Poland has earned certification every year since its first certification in 2021, when the office first met the employee threshold for consideration. The team also earned specialized certification as a Great Workplace for Millennials last year.

WP Engine Poland underwent a thorough assessment by Great Place to Work Poland to achieve official certification. Utilizing data obtained from employees who participated in the Trust Index Survey™, Great Place to Work identifies workplaces that excel in creating environments conducive to both personal and professional growth.

Earning Great Place to Work certification places WP Engine Poland among a select group of companies dedicated to nurturing work environments where employees can flourish. This year, WP Engine Poland was ranked 10th among certified companies in its category.

Understanding the certification process

Over the past four decades, Great Place to Work has evaluated thousands of employers to pinpoint those that prioritize their workforce, fostering cultures that benefit both the business and its employees.

Companies vying for certification ask employees to complete the Trust Index Survey and submit the anonymized data to Great Place to Work. By benchmarking this data against similar organizations, Great Place to Work identifies top performers. 

According to the Great Place to Work Trust Model, exemplary workplaces are those whose employees score the organization highly on these five dimensions of a high-trust company:

1. Credibility: Leaders follow through on their promises
2. Respect: Leaders treat employees with due regard for their rights, needs, and wishes
3. Fairness: Leaders treat employees equally and without favoritism
4. Pride: Employees feel fulfilled by the work they do within an organization
5. Camaraderie: Employees feel a sense of belonging within the organization

Positive employee responses to the Trust Index Survey (four and above on the five-point scale) are averaged to provide an organization-wide assessment of culture, and companies that score above a set threshold become Great Place To Work Certified.

Companies must also meet strict requirements for how surveys are distributed as well as the percentage of employees who respond to ensure the results accurately represent feedback from the company’s full population.

Once certified, companies may earn additional accolades based on specific demographics, locations, or industries.

WP Engine’s Great Place to Work history

WP Engine first earned certification from Great Place to Work in 2017. Since then, it has garnered more than 30 individual certifications, ranging from general workplace recognition to inclusion on international lists spanning the UK, Ireland, and Poland to specialized lists such as Best Workplaces in Tech, for Women, and for Wellness.

The Poland site is WP Engine’s second international hub to earn certification so far this year, with WP Engine Ireland already earning both general certification and specialized certification as a Great Workplace for Health and Wellbeing.
