How is Best Places to Work™ different from Great Place To Work?

Both certify from an employee survey. The main difference is that Best Places to Work™ is built for the Thai labour market: the survey runs in Thai and English, results come back in 2 weeks, and the certification is announced directly to Thai job seekers through WorkVenture's channels. Great Place To Work is a global brand, which matters most when an overseas head office wants one standard across every country.

What score does a company need to be certified as a Best Place to Work™?

Your employees need to rate the workplace at a People Success Index™ of 60% or higher. The result comes only from confidential employee responses, with no judging panel and no public vote.

How long does it take?

About 2 weeks. The survey takes each employee 10 to 15 minutes, and you can watch results arrive on the real-time dashboard while it is open.

We already hold Great Place To Work certification. Is Best Places to Work™ still worth it?

If you hire in Thailand, yes. The WorkVenture certification appears where Thai candidates are already searching for employers, and it comes with a department-level results dashboard your HR team can act on immediately. Many companies hold both: the global standard for head office, and the Thai certification for local recruiting.

It is quoted per organization rather than listed as a fixed price. Contact the team at sales@workventure.com or 02 123 3827 for a quote.

Great Place To Work vs Best Places to Work™: Workplace Certification for Companies in Thailand

Find your fit

Both certifications let your employees decide how highly they rate you. The difference is who the certification is designed for, who gets to see it, and how long you wait for the result.

Bottom line: Best Places to Work™ suits companies that hire in Thailand. Great Place To Work suits an overseas head office that wants one standard everywhere.
