Six companies from the regions of Girona have obtained the "Great Place to Work" certification, a recognition that certifies work environments positively valued by their workers. The latest company to join this group is Noel, the food group based in Sant Joan les Fonts, which has announced its incorporation after overcoming the evaluation process required by the organization.
Noel enters the list after overcoming the Trust Index
Noel has achieved certification after 78% of its workforce participated in the "Trust Index" questionnaire, with 73% favorable ratings according to data provided by the company itself. To access this recognition, it is necessary that at least 65% of employees positively rate the work environment and that the company has a minimum of 10 employees.
"It's a milestone that fills us with great enthusiasm" - Albert Sanantón, Corporate Director of People, Noel
The executive has emphasized that the certification represents a recognition of the human team and supports a corporate culture based on trust and commitment to people.

The official page of "Great Place to Work Spain" currently lists five companies from the Girona demarcation: Comexi, Masoliver, Coopecarn, Fricafor and Embutidos Caseros Collell. Coopecarn, Fricafor and Embutidos Caseros Collell are linked to Grup Cañigueral, one of the main conglomerates in the meat sector in the area.
The "Great Place to Work" certification is open to any company that exceeds the valuation threshold, although the annual "Best Workplaces" ranking is more restrictive and does not include all certified companies.
