INDEX ≠ CERTIFICATION

The WWEC Workplace Excellence Index™ is an indicative self-assessment designed to help organisations understand their current position across the eight dimensions of workplace excellence.

It is not WWEC certification.

Certification requires the applicable scope, eligibility requirements, evidence, employee-experience process, assessment, scoring and controlled certification decision.

Why it matters

Experience is the real measure.

The Index asks the questions employees answer every day — about safety, fairness, progression, balance, belonging and voice.

Why it matters

Policies say one thing. Experience says another.

Your organisation may have strong policies, values and commitments. The real question is: how does the workplace experience feel to the people inside it?

Index & Insights is the user-facing measurement, employee-experience, results and research area of the WWEC Workplace Excellence System™. The WWEC Workplace Excellence Index™ is the measurement entry point to that system: it provides a structured assessment of an organisation's workplace excellence position across the eight WWEC Workplace Excellence Dimensions, helping organisations understand their current position, identify strengths and improvement priorities, and establish a foundation for further assessment and improvement. The Index is part of the WWEC Workplace Excellence System™. The Index is not the WWEC Women-Centred Workplace™ Certification. Index participation or an Index score does not guarantee, constitute or imply certification.

The WWEC Workplace Excellence Index™ is a self-assessment and awareness tool. It is not a certification, accreditation, audit, independent conformity assessment or legal opinion. Completing the Index or receiving a high score does not mean that an organisation is WWEC Certified.
