Great Place to Work® is known as the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours that are proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

To earn the accreditation, employees complete a short confidential questionnaire about what they believe it is like to work for their company. In 2024, 83% of Watches of Switzerland Group employees participated in the survey and the group exceeded the trust index score requirement, which represents workplace culture, policies, practices, history and demographics.

"We’re delighted to be recognised as a Great Place to Work and the fact that we have made the list of Certified Great Places to Work in both of our US and UK regions in our first year of entry is a testament to the hard work, passion and team spirit of all of our colleagues who work hard to deliver positive outcomes for our clients."
