The world’s best workplaces 2019

What key aspects of a workplace constitute an outstanding employee experience?

The Leesman Index is the world’s foremost employee workplace experience assessment tool. Since 2010, they have remained single-minded in a mission to arm the world with the insights necessary to build better workplaces.

In 2019, Leesman independently assessed the workplace experience of 235,644 employees across 1,277 workplaces worldwide, further bolstering what was already the largest available body of comparative data on workplace effectiveness, to hold data on more than 726,000 employees across more than 4,800 workplaces, in 96 countries.

Their findings again expose a huge diversity in the operational effectiveness of employees’ working environments, exposing the sometimes stark differences between what employers are providing and what employees need. They also reveal that a large number of organisations are simply not getting what they could from their workplaces. In too many spaces opportunities are being routinely overlooked, and the toxic impact on employees of poor physical and virtual infrastructure, grossly underestimated.

But an elite group of employers buck this trend, delivering individual workplaces that brilliantly support employee experience. Some of these spaces - ones that comply with strict qualification criteria - are awarded the coveted Leesman+ certification.

Increasing numbers of organisations are now setting Leesman+ certification as a corporate objective, integrating employee experience as a key performance indicator in their real estate scorecards.
