I also didn’t get a VIP suitcase 😤

But we can build a culture worth celebrating

Hey bestie,

Okay, did you also see that reel of Info Edge’s Diwali gifts? Yeah… VIP-branded suitcases, wellness snack boxes, decorative diyas — all neatly arranged at their desks like some kind of Pinterest-perfect corporate fantasy. 🙄

Sure, that’s so extra — what actually gets me is the point of it all:

Genuine appreciation. Their employees felt seen, celebrated, and, let’s be honest, probably a little smug scrolling through that Instagram feed.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are like, “Cool, when’s our turn?” 😤

🎯 What This Means for Your Culture

Info Edge’s gesture isn’t just about the gifts — it’s about creating a culture where people actually feel valued, seen, and celebrated. It’s a reminder that culture isn’t just a policy; it’s a practice.

And that’s exactly what the TSOW Best Workplace Certification is all about: testing, proving, and celebrating your workplace culture.

➡️ 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. 🏆

And the best part? 💡
It’s absolutely free — the survey, the reports, the badges, all of it.

🎉 Meet the Champions!

We threw down the challenge, and these incredible teams didn’t just rise to it — they smashed it. Each of them has proven that when you put people first, culture becomes your superpower.

🥳Let’s give them the spotlight they deserve:
