Talexio is excited to announce the launch of the “Employee Approved Workplace” certificate, a fresh initiative which aims to recognise organisations in Malta that have created exceptional work environments, encouraged employee happiness and fostered steadfast loyalty. This certification is based entirely on employee feedback, ensuring that the recognition is not just a marketing badge but a real reflection of workplace excellence.
A Certification Rooted in Employee Feedback
The core principle of this certification is that employees are the judges of their own workplaces and workplace culture. Benefits, slogans, or perks don’t define workplace culture, but it’s shaped by the people who experience it every day, sharing a common set of values and purpose. The employer plays a crucial role in ensuring that the strategic vision and leadership are aligned to set the stage for culture to flourish, fostering an environment where a positive, employee-driven culture can take root and thus lead to business success.
The certification is awarded by utilising data from Talexio’s Team Voice engagement survey, an independent and anonymous survey designed to capture genuine employee sentiment. This ensures that the certification is based on real and meaningful feedback about workplace culture and engagement levels.
Malta’s Leading Workplaces
Talexio extends its warmest congratulations to the first 10 organisations in Malta that have earned the Employee Approved Workplace certificate: Melita Ltd, Smart Technologies Limited, Atlas Insurance, Malta Gaming Authority, BELS Malta Language School, Trident Trust, Jatco Insurance Brokers PCC Ltd, Nissan International Insurance Ltd, St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation & Hili Ventures.
Notably, only a minority of participating organisations met the necessary criteria, highlighting the dedication required to achieve it. These organisations have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to their employees and have created environments where employees feel engaged, respected and motivated.
Rigorous Criteria from Real-Time Benchmarks
To achieve this certification, organisations must meet three stringent criteria encompassing:
- High Response Rate: A significant participation rate in the Team Voice survey is essential, demonstrating a commitment to employee input.
- Positive Overall Survey Results: The collective feedback must indicate a high level of employee satisfaction and engagement across 11 key categories.
- Strong eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score): Demonstrates that employees feel engaged and are willing to recommend their workplace, serving as a key measure of loyalty and workplace satisfaction.
What sets this certification apart is the use of live benchmarks. Talexio continuously updates benchmarks based on live data from participating organisations. This approach ensures that the certification reflects the evolving workplace landscape and that the criteria remain relevant and challenging.
A Testament to Workplace Culture
In today’s competitive job market, engaged employees are an organisation’s most valuable asset. A thriving workplace culture leads to:
- Higher Productivity: Employees who feel engaged are more focused, proactive and driven.
- Greater Innovation: A strong workplace culture encourages employees to think creatively and share new ideas.
- Lower Turnover: Organisations prioritising employee experience retain top talent and reduce costly turnover.
- Stronger Employer Branding: A workplace where employees are happy and engaged naturally attracts more top-tier candidates.
The Employee Approved Workplace certification isn’t just another accolade to add to a company’s website, but it represents trust and validation from the people who matter most: your employees. This certification signifies that an organisation understands its success is directly tied to employee well-being and fosters a workplace where employees feel valued, heard and driven to contribute their best work.
