Top WorkPlace
We recognise organisations with an exceptionally strong workplace culture — based solely on the opinions and feedback of employees.
Luppa presents the Top Workplace and Best of the Best awards to organisations with an exceptional workplace culture. These awards recognise employers who create a positive working environment, promote excellence and encourage continuous improvement of people-management practices.
The winners stand out as role models in leadership, communication, employee development and wellbeing.
How did it all begin?
When Luppa launched the Top Workplace award, the goal was to recognise organisations that truly listen to their employees and invest in organisational culture. The award has become a respected benchmark of workplace excellence, and the recognition comes directly from the voices and experiences of employees themselves.
Daniel Ackermann, CEO, Luppa: “Seeing such an exceptional level of participation, interest and competition makes me very happy and proud, because it shows that we have truly succeeded in this mission.”
Top WorkPlace — evaluation and categories
Winners are selected across 21 industries (IT, financial services, pharmaceuticals, retail, tourism, manufacturing, healthcare, the public sector and others).
The evaluation is based on three key criteria, with companies required to score at least 15% above market/industry benchmarks: eNPS, employee engagement and overall satisfaction.
Overall satisfaction is measured across 12 dimensions: communication, work-life balance, leadership, collaboration, learning and development, work organisation, engagement, loyalty, innovation and change management, working conditions, vision and purpose, and autonomy.
The number of winners per industry varies — some industries may have multiple winners, and some none if the criteria are not met.
Best of the Best — evaluation and categories
The Best of the Best recognition is awarded to organisations that score at least 25% above industry/market benchmarks.
Ranking is carried out among the top 3 organisations by market (Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina) and by organisation size (small, medium, large).
