Leesman+ certification

Awarded to just a fraction of the buildings we’ve measured, our independent validation of an outstanding employee workplace experience has become a globally recognised certification that companies strive to achieve.

These top-tier workplaces also provide a precedent to organisations around the globe – Leesman+ certified buildings have allowed us to provide valuable insights into where their features, services and infrastructures are surpassing the majority.

*All Leesman+ buildings must meet strict strict response rate criteria
