Cultural Fit:

It’s essential that everyone who works at Great Place to Work not only understands our values and what we stand for, but also conducts themselves in a way that reflects these values. As Evaluator, you must act by example when representing the organisation. Our values are:

One Team

It’s all about working together to achieve great results for our clients. We have a family feel and we respect and celebrate our individual differences. It’s about looking to the future and what we can do better, not blaming each other for past mistakes. We challenge each other for the good of the team in a constructive and caring way and make sure to share and revel in successes from every part of the business.

Client Focus

Our mission informs our decisions and the way we work – even if this means ‘taking the tough decisions’. It is vital that we take time to fully understand our clients’ needs using a consultative approach and don’t take short cuts. This includes listening to all client feedback and acting upon it in a timely manner and ensuring that we never rest and continue to foster innovation to meet and exceed client needs.

Expertise

We hire specialists and then actively support and develop them to become even greater and more credible experts in their chosen fields. We are committed to the continuous improvement and high quality of our people, services and products and are immensely proud of being leaders in our field. Our constant aim is to continue to grow and help more organisations build and maintain great workplaces.

Respect

We interact with each other openly and honestly and always with the best intentions. We all completely trust in the competence of each other to deliver and do the right thing. Each individual takes responsibility for her or his actions and are at all times empowered and supported to be the best that they possibly can be. Here at Great Place to Work, everyone's voice is considered equally and everyone is treated fairly.

Care

We care passionately about what we do. We are inspired by who we work with and take learnings from the very best. We also care about those we work with and take the time to know each other as individuals, and as a result treat each other accordingly as we know how what we do impacts on our clients and colleagues. We therefore cultivate an environment where we all actively seek, listen and respond to feedback knowing full well that the strength of the relationships with those that we work with will dictate the quality of work that we collectively produce.
