The 2025 ‘Best Workplaces for Wellbeing’ Award Isn’t For Us. It’s For Our People.

It is with immense pride and gratitude that we share the news: Crossjoin has been officially recognized as a Best Workplace for Wellbeing in 2025 by Great Place to Work® Portugal.

While we are thrilled to receive this honour, I want to be clear about who it truly belongs to. This isn’t an award that management wins; it’s an award our people give us. My role as Head of Fulfillment is to help create an environment where our team can thrive, and this recognition, rooted in their own voices, is the most meaningful measure of our success.

What This Award Really Means

The Best Workplaces™ Wellbeing title goes one step further, attesting to a superior and measurable commitment to employee health and happiness. The recognition is a direct result of:

1. Sentiment Assessment: This is the average of the 18 specific wellbeing statements already included in the Great Place to Work questionnaire. This metric captures the real experience of our employees, validating whether they feel that the company supports their physical, emotional, financial and social wellbeing.
2. Practice Assessment: This is an analysis of the wellbeing-promoting practices and policies that our company implements. This demonstrates that wellbeing is not just an intention, but a strategic priority with concrete programmes in place.

The Pillars of Fulfillment at Crossjoin

“Wellbeing” and “fulfillment” can feel like abstract concepts, but at Crossjoin, they are built on concrete pillars that define our culture.

1. Growth as Wellbeing: We believe that professional fulfillment comes from challenge and development. Stagnation is the opposite of wellbeing. That’s why we invest so heavily in continuous learning through our Crossjoin Academy, mentorship programs, and exposure to diverse, high-impact projects. We give our people the tools and opportunities to grow, and in return, they deliver excellence.

2. Flexibility and Trust as Wellbeing: Our philosophy isn’t about where you work, but how you can do your best work. We operate on a foundation of trust and autonomy. This means offering the flexibility our team needs to integrate their professional responsibilities with their personal lives. By empowering our people with this responsibility, we foster a mature, respectful environment where everyone is accountable for delivering results.

3. Connection as Wellbeing: Technology connects systems, but people connect people. Despite our focus on complex technical challenges, we have never lost sight of the importance of human connection. The “team spirit” and “welcoming atmosphere” our employees highlight are a testament to a culture built on mutual support. From our team-building events to our daily collaborations, we foster a community where everyone feels they belong.

4. Impact as Wellbeing: Fulfillment is also about purpose. The work we do in Performance, Automation, and Cloud solutions is critical for our clients. Knowing that your expertise is solving a real-world problem and delivering tangible value is a powerful motivator. We are a team of problem-solvers, and the pride we take in our work is a cornerstone of our collective wellbeing.

A Personal Thank You

To every member of the Crossjoin team: thank you. Thank you for your honesty, your commitment, and your trust. You are the architects of this culture. Every project you deliver, every colleague you support, and every challenge you overcome contributes to making this a truly great place to work. This award is a reflection of you.

A Milestone, Not a Destination

We see this recognition not as a final goal, but as a welcome milestone on our ongoing journey. Our commitment is to continue listening, learning, and evolving to ensure that Crossjoin remains a place where talented people feel fulfilled, respected, and empowered to do the best work of their careers.
