Gathering Personal Information

For more than 20 years the Great Place to Work® Institute has advanced the knowledge of what makes a great place to work® by recognizing Best Companies to work for in the U.S. and around the world, and by helping numerous companies improve corporate performance and raise the quality of work life for their employees. We use the Great Place to Work® Trust Index©, an employee survey, to measure employees' perceptions of the quality of their workplace relationships. Our online survey website collects specific data from you, both in your answers to our Trust Index© survey as well as general demographic information about you, which we use for the purpose of tracking and reporting response patterns. Providing this demographic information to us is never mandatory, nor do we require specific personal identification such as your name or address. All response and demographic data gathered is owned by Great Place to Work® Institute, and is housed on secure servers at Great Place to Work® and/or its business partners. We do not sell or share individual response or demographic data with third parties. For operational purposes, we track usage of our survey website to monitor participation rates for individual surveys. We or our business partners may receive your individual email address from the Survey Administrator at your company in order to prepare an invitation and login for your participation in the survey, but this information is discarded by us once the online data collection period has been completed and the survey closed from further respondents. The information we receive from or about you is stored on systems designed to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information.

How We Manage Information ?

We use response data gathered from this website to prepare evaluation materials for individual companies using our workplace assessment consulting services; for individual research or publications prepared by Great Place to Work® Institute, and if your Organization is a candidate for Best Companies List the response data will be used to evaluate your Organization for inclusion in "Great Places to Work®" lists published by media partner(BusinessWorld, Economic Times,etc.) or other sponsors. Response data is compiled and grouped according to demographic categories, and presented in aggregate form only. To protect the confidentiality of individual respondents, demographic categories of 5 or fewer respondents are merged with other categories or suppressed altogether. Individual responses to open-ended comments questions may be shared in aggregate form, grouped by broad demographic categories, or excerpted individually in narrative form, but individual identifying information or demographics are not associated with responses to open-ended comments questions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GREAT PLACE may disclose personal information in special cases: (1) when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) GREAT PLACE's rights or property; (2) when, after good faith research, we believe that the law requires it; (3) to GREAT PLACE's sales and marketing personnel and its suppliers, business partners, regional managers and/or sales representatives as necessary to provide service or information to you that you have requested; and (4) in situations involving threats to the physical safety of any person.
