How Do You Prove You Have a Great Culture?
Company culture isn’t just “vibes,” a colorful office, or a Slack channel full of emojis.
Anyone can say they have a great culture.
Can you prove it?
Every company claims to be “people-first” or “culture-driven.”
But in 2025, statements don’t cut it — employee voices do.
A real culture is measurable, traceable, and visible in how your team feels, works, grows, and stays.
And that’s exactly what modern organizations are learning to showcase: not just perks, but proof.
That’s where the TSOW Best Workplace Certification steps in — a recognition that’s truly employee-led and data-backed.
➡️ Take the Challenge. Get Certified.
The TSOW Best Workplace Certification is where workplaces put their culture to the ultimate test.
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Run an anonymous pulse survey with your employees.
2️⃣ Score 70%+ on culture pillars like Trust, Growth, Belonging, Safety, and Collaboration.
3️⃣ Pass a culture audit by a panel of top CHROs.
4️⃣ Get officially certified for 12 months with badges, insights, and bragging rights. 🏆

Today’s spotlight comes straight from our friends at RazorpayX 💙
Payroll week has its own… (courtroom) drama. Variances and deductions being explained again and again. HRs solving mysteries no detective signed up for. 🕵♀🧾
So RazorpayX asked a simple question: Instead of employees vs HR, what if payslips could speak for itself?
A delightful ad that introduces RazorpayX Payroll's new feature AI Payslip where employees & HR find themselves in a courtroom and justice arrives .. with a twist!
Take a minute (we promise it’s worth it!) & enjoy watching payroll get a whole lot more… interesting
Because HR shouldn’t need a finance degree to explain a payslip & employees shouldn’t feel like they need one to read it. ✨

This is your chance to benchmark your team, discover growth opportunities, and showcase your workplace as a people-first organization.
