Why Verified Culture

Most workplace awards are sold. This one isn't.

The glossy "best places to work" lists are usually paid for by the companies on them. We do the opposite: an open scoreboard built from the people who actually turn up to work there, good result or bad.

Employees only
Every response is checked against a work email address. No PR teams, no HR editing.
The same 15 questions everywhere
So a hospital and a software firm can genuinely be compared.
Nothing gets quietly deleted
Certificates sit on a permanent public page you can check any time.

Methodology

A score that holds up to questions.

Published formula, a minimum number of responses, and controls that stop one angry afternoon deciding a verdict.

01
Real employees
Every response is tied to a company email address.
02
Weighted fairly
Safety, leadership and pay count for more than free snacks.
03
Enough voices
At least 70% of staff must respond before any verdict is issued.
04
Yearly re-check
Certificates run out after 12 months and have to be earned again.

Voices from the floor

What people tell us.

"Somewhere to put the things HR wouldn't write down. And it genuinely stays anonymous."

Ops lead, logistics

"We scored badly on safety. It stung, and it started a review we should have run years ago."

People director, SaaS

"I used our certificate in a salary conversation. Much harder to argue with than an opinion."

Senior engineer
Also: product certifications

We do the same for the things you buy.

Score hardware, software and services across 10 areas. Good Product and Worst Product certificates work exactly like the workplace ones.

Common questions

The things people ask first.

Is it really anonymous?
Yes. We don't keep IP addresses, and your email is scrambled once it's been checked.
Can a company get a bad certificate taken down?
No. They can ask for a fresh survey and earn a better one.
What does it cost?
Rating and claiming are free. There's a licence fee only if you want to display the certificate publicly.
How many people need to respond?
At least 70% of the workforce, before we'll issue any verdict at all.

Say it without signing your name.

Three minutes, no account, and it actually counts towards the score.
