Rate your workplace with WorkL and Sunday Times

● The Sunday Times has joined forces with WorkL, the employee experience platform that measures, tracks and improves employee engagement and employee happiness at work, in order to find the best places to work.

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024 awards are open for organisations across South Africa. The survey, which entrants will send to their employees via a personalised link, features 35 questions centred on WorkL’s widely approved employee engagement theory, Six Steps to Workplace Happiness, which includes reward and recognition, both integral to retaining talent.

Developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders, academics and other independent parties, the survey accurately monitors employee engagement and wellbeing.

To achieve a high overall engagement score, a company must consistently perform in these scores: reward and recognition, instilling pride, information sharing, empowerment, wellbeing and job satisfaction. The awards will recognise organisations with the highest levels of employee engagement, wellbeing and satisfaction and businesses will be recognised by company size and other categories:

● Best Places to Work: Small Organisation (1049 employees);

● Best Places to Work: Medium Organisation (50-249 employees);

● Best Places to Work: Big Organisation (2501,999 employees);

● Best Places to Work: Very Big Organisation (2,000+ employees);

● Best Places to Work for women;

● Best Places to Work for disabled employees;

● Best Places to Work for ethnic minorities;

● Best Places to Work for LGBTQA+ employees;

● Best Places to Work for 16-34 year olds;

● Entries open today. The deadline for submission of entries is October 4 2024 and the results will be announced towards the end of the year.
