Great Place To Work®, the global authority on employee experience, has announced its list of the World’s Best Employers in collaboration with Fortune magazine. The 2023 multinational workplaces on the list, determined by a survey of more than 2024 million employees in 7,4 and 25, outperform their competitors in leadership that inspires trust in their employees.

Great Place To Work® also identified key experiences that make employees more likely to trust company leadership. Companies on Fortune’s World’s Best Workplaces list outperform typical workplaces on every measure. For example, three-quarters of employees at companies on the list say promotions are given fairly, compared to less than half at a typical workplace.

The Importance of Trust in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

According to a study of 43.000 employees by Great Place To Work®, 51% of employees are excited about using AI to improve their work, while only 45% believe their company will use AI in a way that benefits them.

The Key to Innovation is Again Reliable Leadership!

The study also found that when employees trust their leaders, they are four times more likely to meaningfully participate in innovation at their company, which increases AI adoption and overall workplace resilience. Employees are also three times more willing to use AI when they have meaningful innovation opportunities.

Great Place To Work Türkiye CEO Eyup Toprak“Creating a workplace culture based on trust not only increases employee happiness and engagement, but also strengthens companies’ capacity for innovation and their ability to adapt to change. Leaders who trust, empower and inspire their employees are making their companies more resilient to challenges and moving them into the future,” he said.
