Moving the Boundaries: How HTEC Group Helped Great Place to Work Build Outstanding Platform Experience for Their Clients  

Great Place to Work partnered with HTEC Group to digitize its business and turn vast amounts of data about employee satisfaction into valuable insights for employers that could be accessed in the cloud. For this purpose, we worked together to develop Emprising, Great Place to Work’s employee experience Certification and workplace culture assessment platform, that, in addition to actionable insights, provides benchmark data across different countries, regions, markets, industries, and time spans, and all through easy-to-use interface visualizing large amounts of data in a user-friendly manner.   The ultimate success of Emprising is measured by the increasing number of workplaces that are now nurturing a culture where people experience workplaces characterized with high levels of Respect, Fairness, Employee Pride, Teamwork, Innovation, Honesty, Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, Wellbeing, and Belonging For All. By using the platform to collect valuable employee feedback, organizations are empowered to evaluate and navigate their culture and people strategies to ensure long-term business success and the loyalty of their teams. Our platform thinking and big data now support Great Place to Work’s vision to help organizations navigate their internal relationships towards better outcomes. 
“We had the privilege to work with such an amazing organization that is truly purpose driven and led by an amazing leader. Creating a platform that would enable Great Place to Work to make a positive impact on improving workplace cultures and employee experiences around the world on a massive scale using technology, therefore directly positively impacting businesses, the lives of people, and society as a whole, was both a challenge and an inspiration. Such work is aligned with our mission of using the creative and intellectual capacities of our teams in creating a better future and we are excited to continue this amazing journey with the Great Place to Work team, part of the UKG family now, to expand the impact globally.” — Aleksandar Cabrilo, CEO of HTEC Group    “I am very proud to have been a part of this incredible journey from the very start of the product development from the ground up to reach the point where this product became completely commercialized and soon-to-be-combined with solutions from one of the leading global providers of HCM on the market. From my point of view, this is truly one of the most professional and emotional experiences I have had in my entire career. I have been a part of the team that grew together — we have all developed ourselves by helping each other, and the project itself lasted enough for anyone to witness their professional advancement. I haven’t experienced such great development and growth of each team member on any other project — it is beyond my expectations. I believe that this acquisition represents a new beginning on this journey, allowing us to grow even further and make an even greater impact globally.” — Vladimir Trbovic, Director of Tech Excellence at HTEC Group
