Purpose Certification

POWERED BY PURPOSE

No matter the time or trend, people want to do meaningful work with people who care. They're not willing to ride out toxic work cultures and meaningless work “perks.”

Job seekers and current employees alike are demanding a purpose-driven, people-first approach from companies and company culture.

That is exactly why we launched the Purpose Certification.

The Purpose Certification is a simple and powerful way to tell employees and customers that you care about purpose and culture.

When people see that you’ve been Purpose Certified by us, Purpose Jobs, it immediately signals to them that you . . . 

• are working on technology that’s mission-driven

• help employees do meaningful work

• put employees first by providing opportunities for growth and leadership

☝ Did you know? Millennial and Gen Z workers who are satisfied with their employers’ societal/environmental impact and DEI efforts are more likely to want to stay with their employer for more than 5 years.*

In order to achieve certification, a company must:

✅ Be purpose-driven in mission and operation

✅ Offer meaningful benefits (like wellness days/resources, flex time, employee learning opportunities) that helps employees continue to do meaningful work

✅ Prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging

✅ Actively be trying to build a top workplace that's purpose-driven and has a healthy, people-first culture

✅ Be Midwest-based or remotely hiring in the Midwest

✅ Be tech- and innovation focused (tech startup, tech enterprise, etc.)

✅ Genuinely be a good place to work with good people
