Best Companies Accreditations

Our survey year runs from October to September. To be considered for a specific year's accreditation, you must complete your survey by 30^th September of that year. For example, if you want to earn an accreditation for 2027, you must complete your survey between 1^st October 2026 and 30^th September 2027.

‍

Accreditations are awarded annually and do not automatically renew. Achieving accreditation recognises you as a "Best Company to Work For" for that specific year only. You may use your accreditation badge indefinitely for PR and marketing, provided the year earned remains visible.

Your accreditation is based on your survey results. Using a 7-point response scale, the survey measures how and why employees feel about their workplace. These responses generate your BCI Score, which determines your accreditation level based on specific thresholds.

You can earn an accreditation in five steps: Planning – defining the objectives and scope of your survey; Build – designing your survey; Survey – your survey launch; Results – your survey closes and your data is processed within 48 hours; Accreditation – receive your accreditation and access to logo assets.

No, you can survey as often as you like each year. Many clients survey early, make improvements, and re-survey later to measure impact. Your profile will automatically showcase the highest accreditation level achieved by your company during that year.
