CULTURE EVALUATION
The BTB Culture Index® is a quarterly workplace culture evaluation. It scores how a company recognizes its people and makes a real impact, from 0 to 100, using what actually happens at work rather than opinions alone. Companies that score 85 or higher are certified as a Build Then Bless Culture Company and can be listed on the Culture Directory.
Traditional employee surveys rely only on opinions. The BTB Culture Index looks at real workplace behavior and verified acts of generosity, collected inside Build Then Bless throughout each quarter, and adds confidential team member surveys for companies that want to go further.
Up to 40 points. How appreciation and encouragement are practiced across the whole team.
Up to 30 points. How team members share and celebrate real acts of generosity in their community.
Optional, up to 30 points. How team members themselves feel about the culture, through confidential surveys. Reported separately: it never lowers the Culture Score, and it earns the Team Verified badge.
A company’s Recognition (up to 40 points) and Human Impact (up to 30 points) results are combined and scaled to a Culture Score from 0 to 100.
Culture Score
Score 85 points or more to certify as a Build Then Bless Culture Company.
Team Verified
70% of the team participating and a survey score of 24+ out of 30.
Companies evaluated quarterly are scored on the average of the year’s quarters; companies evaluated yearly on their most recent quarter. Certification is renewed every quarter, so it always reflects how the culture is doing now.
A strong culture doesn’t happen by accident. Companies with healthy cultures often see:
The BTB Culture Index® helps companies see their strengths, find opportunities, and show job seekers and clients that they’ve built a workplace where people thrive.
Participating companies can publish their results on the Build Then Bless Culture Directory: their own page with their Culture Score, certification, reviews from their team and clients, and open positions. It’s where job seekers and clients go to find companies that take care of their people, and it helps them find yours when they search for it on Google.
The BTB Culture Index® is built on transparency, consistency and trust. Survey responses stay confidential and are only used in combined results. Companies can’t change how they’re scored or influence certification standards. Every participating company is evaluated with the same objective framework, every quarter.
Recognition Signals (up to 40 points) and Human Impact Signals (up to 30 points) are added together and scaled to a score from 0 to 100. Both come from what a team actually does in Build Then Bless during the quarter.
85 or higher. Certified companies are recognized as a Build Then Bless Culture Company and can display the badge on their website.
No. Survey results are reported separately as Culture Health Pillars, so turning surveys on can never lower a company’s score. Strong survey results with high participation earn the Team Verified badge.
Every quarter. Evaluations run on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 for the quarter that just ended, so certification always reflects the current culture.
Yes. Individual answers are never shown to the company; they are only used in combined results.
Once a company takes part in the Culture Index and turns on public display, its page appears on the Culture Directory after its first evaluation.
