This is an institution that has been adopted in many countries where Great Place To Work ® is present.
The Great Place to Work® institution is being upgraded and developed, with the adoption of Best Workplaces for Women™. This is a new certification that will be received by businesses that meet specific criteria in terms of equality.
In particular, candidates to receive this certification will be companies that have already received the Great Place To Work® certification. Afterward, the companies will be evaluated based on the results of the questions of the Trust Index© survey that are either directly related to the topic of equality in general or concern aspects of the working environment that specifically affect women. The selection criteria will also include the participation rates of women in each company’s hierarchy.
It is worth noting that the Best Workplaces™ for Women list will be announced in the first quarter of 2024 and candidates will be companies certified in 2023.
“The criteria taken into account, as always, will be clear, measurable, and therefore objective” emphasized Kyriakos Iakovides, General Manager of Great Place To Work®.
According to Mr. Iakovidis, “the dominant philosophy of Great Place To Work ® is summed up in the phrase For All ™ which clearly implies that the working environment must be positive for all staff groups”. In this context, he explained, “initiatives in many countries to highlight and recognize companies that treat both sexes equally, impartially and fairly” are included.
The new institution is supported by the Federation of Professional and Business Women BPW Cyprus.
In a related statement, the President of BPW Cyprus, Tasia Giannara, stated,
“It is an honor for us to sponsor this event as Best Workplaces ™ for Women perfectly aligns with our goals and objectives. With a presence in over 100 countries around the world, BPW’s mission is to develop the entrepreneurial, professional, and leadership potential of women at all levels through advocacy, education, mentoring, networking, and skill development through programs, and economic empowerment projects around the world. »
