Karsan, a pioneer in the global transformation of public transportation toward electric and autonomous vehicles with its vision of “One Step Ahead in the Future of Mobility,” has once again crowned its employee satisfaction with the Great Place to Work® Certification.
Okan Baş, CEO of Karsan, emphasized that this success belongs to all employees of the organization: “Receiving the Great Place to Work® certification, a prestigious title worldwide, for two consecutive years shows we are on the right track. This year, Karsan was also recognized as one of the companies implementing the best practices in Social Responsibility and Volunteering in May 2025, and was ranked among the Best Employers in the Manufacturing and Production Sector in August. All these awards are a reflection of our strong corporate culture shaped by the contributions of our employees.”
Karsan, which plays a pioneering role in the global transition of public transportation to electric and autonomous vehicles, continues to draw attention with its high-tech products developed through a flawless approach to manufacturing and service. Positioned ahead of the sector with its expert team and innovative service philosophy as much as its products, Karsan has once again certified its success in employee satisfaction and corporate culture by receiving the Great Place to Work® certification for the second time.
Qualifying for the Great Place to Work® certification this year, just as it did last year, Karsan stood out with its people-centric approach and strong workplace culture, which is one of the world’s most respected corporate culture assessments.
The Great Place to Work® certification is awarded based on a comprehensive analysis of five core criteria: trust, respect, fairness, pride, and team spirit. This certification is considered one of the most tangible indicators not only of being a good workplace but also of having a corporate culture where employees feel valued, motivated, and happy. The company received the Great Place to Work certification at a ceremony held in Bursa. Speaking at the ceremony, Karsan CEO Okan Baş received the certificate from the Great Place to Work representative and shared this significant achievement with all Karsan employees. The event also included the sharing of Karsan’s vision for sustainable corporate culture and new goals for increasing employee commitment. Karsan was first certified as a “Great Place to Work” in October 2024. The year 2025 has been a period where the company further advanced its achievements in this field. Recognized as one of the companies implementing the best practices in Social Responsibility and Volunteering in May 2025, Karsan was also listed among the Best Employers in the Manufacturing and Production Sector in August. By qualifying for the Great Place to Work® certification again this year with its employee-focused practices, Karsan once more proved its people-centric leadership approach.
To continually improve the employee experience, Karsan established six different working groups in 2022. These groups implement significant improvements in communication, ergonomics, social activities and rewards, teamwork and development, and compensation and benefits. Led under the sponsorship of senior management, these groups contribute to the development of a participative and inclusive culture within the organization.
Karsan CEO Okan Baş emphasized that this success belongs to all employees of the organization: “Receiving the Great Place to Work® certification, a prestigious title worldwide, for two consecutive years shows we are on the right track. This year, Karsan was also recognized as one of the companies implementing the best practices in Social Responsibility and Volunteering in May 2025, and was listed among the Best Employers in the Manufacturing and Production Sector in August. All these awards are a result of our strong corporate culture shaped by the dedication of our employees. Behind this significant success lies the diligent work of our colleagues, our strong team spirit, our deep-rooted corporate culture, and the respect and affection we hold for each other. We will continue to do better to ensure the happiness of our colleagues by considering their needs and demands. At Karsan, we believe that whatever we have done, we have done together; and whatever we will do, we will do together.”
