Select a two-week period to launch the EmSurP©, our research-backed employee experience survey.
Upon completion of the EmSurP© survey, we will formulate your score and notify you of your eligibility. The eligibility criteria is as follows:
Bronze Certified: Basic certification for scores of +10 or higher.
Silver Certified: Higher certification for scores of +30, indicating more consistent and widespread employee satisfaction.
Gold Certified: Top-tier certification for scores of +50, a rare achievement signifying exceptional workplace culture.
Once you meet our criteria and employee feedback benchmark, you’ll earn the special distinction of being a CultureCraft Certified company.
Once Certified, you’ll have access to a suite of employer branding tools and promotional assets:
A custom, royalty-free Certification badge to use on all your recruiting campaigns and assets
Digital toolkit full of social media images, press materials, shareable content and more
Your interactive Certified company profile on culturecraft.ashiholding.com
Between setting up your employee survey, running it, and analyzing the results, you can expect Certification to take at least three to four weeks.
If you need extra time to set up and run your survey, or to get any necessary approvals and budget, you'll want to account for that in your timeline and expectations.
Plus, as you can see from the calendar above, several months pass between when applications for a list close, and when that list is finalized and published. A lot of companies apply for these lists, and we carefully review those applications, so it takes some time.
This is why you should not delay getting started on Certification- the deadlines can arrive much faster than you think! A list might not be announced until a year from now, but if applications close six months ahead of that, and you have to incorporate Certification into your quarterly planning, you might only have a few weeks to get the process started.
Certification gives you the edge you need to win at recruiting and retaining top talent.
Here's how Certified companies differ from the typical U.S. workplace:
Employees at Certified companies are 60% more likely to help their employers recruit top talent by endorsing their organizations to friends and family
Employees are also 51% more likely to stay for a long time
Certified companies have 50% less turnover
86% of employees at Certified companies say they'd recommend their company to others, compared to just 56% at the average U.S. workplace
”Partnering with CultureCraft has allowed us to speak a common language in the industry, which has been super essential to our success as far as retaining talent and bringing on top talent.”
