Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 776, Mon 13 January, 2025

Dear Escapees,

We hope you have had a wonderful start to the new year!

We are so excited to share the news that today Escape the City launches the new Top 1% Employer Certification and is celebrating the Founding members of this exceptional community.

Top 1% Employer: Escape Certified is our new ultimate benchmark for progressive organisations.

At Escape the City we know that purpose-driven organisations are leading the charge in shaping a better world - but too often, organisations fall short where it matters most: their people and processes.

The Top 1% Employer Certification changes that. This is not just another accolade - it’s a movement to raise the bar for small, progressive companies that are serious about building exceptional workplace cultures.

This new, rigorous assessment from the team here at Escape, measures what truly counts: how organisations care for, support, and empower their teams. Companies that earn this certification don’t just meet the standard - they surpass it, proving they’re among the best of the best.

So what does this mean for you? For our wonderful community of job seekers, it’s a trusted badge that signals a workplace where purpose and people thrive together. Where organisations are investing in creating truly special places to work.

 Find out more about the Organisations that make up the Founding Cohort here.

 Use the new Top 1% filter on the Escape jobs board to find which of them are hiring right now!

 Keep an eye out for the Founding Member Top 1% badge as you search on company profiles.

 And if you would like your organisation to take the free assessment and join the movement, find out more here and join this community, shaping the future of work.

We hope this new certification will support you on finding the best places to work in 2025! Take a look at the list below for a few of our Top 1% Employer live roles!

Happy Escaping,

Dom, Charlotte K, Elena, Charlotte T & Aman
