The Great Place To Work Institute is an organization dedicated to building a better society by helping companies transform their workplaces.
In 2013, after a thorough survey of our 100+ employees and an intense training session with our management team, Mindvalley became a Great Place To Work certified company.
Better For Business
Extensive research shows that companies with healthy work cultures outperform at the stock market. Building a healthy work environment is not only important to the employees. It’s important for the results.

Basically, caring about a company’s work environment is better for business. When a company trusts its leaders, employees innovate more and work more to accomplish the shared vision.

Building a healthy, conscious company culture takes time and energy. We decided to take on the challenge anyway and become certified as a Great Place To Work certified company.
