The Trust Index Survey: Your Culture GPS
Identify your culture strengths & opportunities
Our employee survey software is the result of decades of data collection and analysis in partnership with thousands of companies. It reveals your culture’s strengths and opportunities so that you can take action and compare your results to relevant benchmarks.
- What matters most to employees about their roles, leadership, and the organization
- Why people may want to leave and how you can improve retention
- How your culture compares to the Best Workplaces™
- Which leaders are leading in ways that keep talent onboard, spark new ideas, and drive productivity
See how your culture evolves over time
Culture isn’t static — it responds to economic pressures, workforce changes, and events like mergers and acquisitions.
As you continue to survey employees over time, the Trust Index Survey shows you how your culture shifts in response to these changes.
Seeing the data helps you quantify the impact of your culture strategy, showing where to double down, change course, or grow to meet your goals.
The secret sauce at the Best Workplaces
Leaders at thousands of companies — including all of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® — have recognized the impact that culture has on productivity, employee retention, and profitability.
They continue to partner with Great Place To Work because they know how critical the Trust Index Survey is to sustaining their strong cultures — and how those cultures fuel happier teams, better ideas, and stronger business results.

Is the Great Place To Work® survey anonymous?
Yes. We take our ethical obligation to survey takers very seriously. Employees can rest assured that their participation is completely confidential and voluntary. Survey responses come directly to Great Place To Work®. Employers cannot see who has or who has not completed the survey while the survey is live. We remove unique identifiers once the survey closes.
For employers, company participation in the Certification process and the survey results are completely confidential. We do not publish the details of any organizations who do not achieve Certification™ or Best Workplaces™ recognition.
Is assessment limited to taking place annually only?
You can begin the process of making your workplace better for everyone now, without waiting to be recognized on the annual list!
Some organizations work with us annually, adding extra pulse surveys to the core measures to estimate their progress throughout the year. Some clients check their pulse frequently, perhaps once a month or once every three months.
How many questions are on the Great Place To Work® survey?
Employees respond to 59 statements across a five-point consistency scale and two open-ended questions. Employees generally take 15 minutes to complete the survey.
Can we ask our own questions on the Great Place To Work® employee survey?
Certain subscription tiers allow you to add custom questions. To be considered for the Great Place To Work® Certification and our awards, our essential Trust Index statements must stay as they are. However, we have various membership levels that let you add your own demographic questions, open-ended questions, and survey statements. You can gather any additional survey responses that you believe are most relevant to your company without thinking about how they will impact your certification outcome. These remarks will not be considered for our awards if they are not necessary for a particular Best Workplaces™ List.
Do we get to see our scores from the employee survey?
Yes. Once your survey is closed, you’ll immediately get (at minimum) an overview of your scores so you can see how your employee experience measures against our key evaluation areas, and how you stack up against our Best Workplaces™ benchmarks.
Is the survey compatible with mobile?
Yes. Our Trust Index is extremely user-friendly and compatible across all devices (laptop/pc, tablet, and mobile).
