Great Workplaces is based on a framework which has been developed with accreditation experts and tested with veterinary professionals. The Framework is an extension of the Good Veterinary Workplaces voluntary code and combines the main principles of a healthy workplace with achievable and aspirational criteria.ÌýA workplace can be accredited at either Silver or Gold levels according to assessment in the four main areas: Health and Wellbeing, Leadership and Management, Culture, and Learning and Development​.
To achieve the Great Workplaces accreditation, organisations are assessed on 18 themes across the four areas, using an online survey which is completed by all employees, and interviews with a cross-section of team members, or all team members for those workplaces with fewer than 10 people.
You can access our full Accreditation Framework below.
Here you can find resources that correspond to each theme in the Great Workplaces Framework. Whether you have undergone accreditation, or simply want to get support for your workplace, there is a huge amount of information available to you and your teams.
