Great Places to Work Study

At the heart of our definition of a great place to work - a place where employees "trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with" - is the idea that a great workplace is measured by the quality of the three, interconnected relationships that exist there:

• The relationship between employees and management.

• The relationship between employees and their jobs/company.

• The relationship between employees and other employees.
