Best Employers Study in Poland

102 organisations took part in the third edition of the Best Employers Survey. 91 of them fulfilled eventually all the criteria and were qualified for the official ranking. The Survey questionnaires were filled in by 21,693 employees and 873 members of top management. Both groups represented 68,292 employees of the participating companies.

The Survey participants represent many different branches – from production or services to high technologies. One of the strongest representations is that of Media and Advertising (17%) followed by Production (15%).

Small and medium-sized companies and big companies were represented by an almost equal number of organisations.

Considering the number of employees, almost 57% of participants were companies hiring up to 250 persons. Organisations employing over 1000 people represented 15% of the total number of participants.

Up till now, a total number of 44,119 employees of more than 190 organisations shared their opinions in all 3 Polish editions of the Survey.

Best Employers Ranking

Selecting the Best Employers is an absolutely objective process. The organisations are assessed above all by their internal clients – the employees. Our ranking is primarily based on their opinion, as we assume that those are the people who know best and can assess their company as an employer. Neither Hewitt nor the Survey Partners have right or possibility to influence the Survey results. The rank is based on two indicators: Employee Engagement Score and Alignment Score that together constitute the Best Employers Score. To be among the Best Employers, the organisation needs to reach the Engagement Score level of at least 65%. In turn, the Best Employers Score determines the actual position of the company in the official ranking. If more than one organisation achieves the same result, which is also the case of this edition, places ex aequo are being awarded.

The Best Employers Score is composed of:

• Engagement Score with a weighting of 60%
• Alignment Score with a weighting of 40%

Such construction of the Best Employers Rate has its justification, as a strong correlation exists between the factors influencing alignment and engagement. The more consistent are the perspectives of the leaders and HR function, the highest Engagement Score can be expected. A lower level of alignment usually goes together with a low level of engagement.

A general rule applied in Poland is to publish an official ranking of the top ten Best Employers. Exceptions from this rule are possible only if more than one organisation achieves the same level of the final score. It this edition of the Survey, 12 organisations have been awarded with the title of the Best Employer. These are those companies that exceeded a 65% level of engagement. Two companies took ex aequo the 6th place and 4 companies share the 8 th place, which is why the number of laureates is bigger than 10.
