25 years of workplace culture research — now open and free. Explore 470+ webinars, articles, blog posts, case studies, and research papers from the institute behind Most Loved Workplace®.
The BPI Knowledge Archive represents one of the most comprehensive collections of workplace culture research available anywhere. Built over 25 years by Best Practice Institute — the independent research organization behind Most Loved Workplace® — this archive contains peer-reviewed research, practitioner insights, and real-world case studies from Fortune 500 companies, global enterprises, and pioneering startups.
Every resource in the archive is grounded in BPI's validated methodology: the SPARK Model (Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision for the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Achievement) and the Love of Workplace Index™ (LOWI) — the employee sentiment survey that measures emotional connectedness at work. Unlike traditional engagement surveys that capture satisfaction snapshots, LOWI measures the structural conditions that predict retention, performance, and discretionary effort.
The archive features contributions from world-renowned thought leaders including Marshall Goldsmith, Dave Ulrich, Beverly Kaye, Jim Kouzes, and Fons Trompenaars, alongside original research from BPI's team of organizational psychologists and data scientists. Topics span leadership development, executive coaching, talent management, organizational development, change management, employer branding, diversity and inclusion, hybrid work culture, and AI-powered people analytics.
Whether you're a CHRO benchmarking your culture strategy, an executive coach seeking evidence-based frameworks, a talent leader exploring retention science, or an organizational development practitioner designing culture interventions — this archive provides the research foundation you need. All resources are free, open, and searchable by topic, format, and presenter.

In an era of rapid organizational change, evidence-based approaches to workplace culture have never been more critical. BPI's 25-year body of research demonstrates that emotional connectedness — not perks, compensation, or office design — is the strongest predictor of whether employees stay, perform, and advocate for their organizations. The Knowledge Archive makes this research accessible to every leader, regardless of organizational size or industry.
The research in this archive has directly informed the development of the Most Loved Workplace® certification, now featured in The Wall Street Journal and The Economist. It has been cited in Harvard Business Review, used by Fortune 500 CHROs to redesign their talent strategies, and adopted by executive coaches worldwide. Every piece of content reflects BPI's commitment to rigorous, peer-reviewed methodology and practical applicability.
