Fast Track Celebrates Great Place to Work™ Certification for Second Consecutive Year
Fast Track, a technology company in the iGaming industry, is proud to announce that it has once again secured two country-specific certifications as a Great Place to Work for 2023/2024. The prestigious certification evaluates companies through the perspectives of current employees, gauging their sentiments about their workplace.
Fast Track believes in the positive impact of high employee trust and engagement on business performance and chose Great Place to Work to gain valuable insights into enhancing the workplace culture and drive better business outcomes.
For the second year running, Fast Track has achieved a remarkable Trust Index™ score of 91%, earning certification for both its offices in Malta and Sweden. This impressive Trust Index score places Fast Track thirty-three points above the average work experience and amongst the very best workplaces in Europe and Sweden – a country with an earned reputation for its commitment to creating a supportive, balanced, and equitable work environment that values employee well-being, safety, and engagement.
The certification reinforces Fast Track’s position as a world-class employer, as well as its commitment to providing an exceptional workplace experience for all employees globally. Commenting on this achievement, Chief People Officer at Fast Track Jenny Arnell states;
“Building on last year’s exceptional Trust Index results was no small feat. We understood that maintaining such a high score during our rapid growth presented a real challenge. Since last year, we’ve navigated expected ‘growth’ challenges to our culture and organisation, and we have placed extra effort to keep our focus on our shared vision and values, as well as finding strategies to meet capacity needs. Although we have hired a lot of people and grown the teams significantly, the results remain incredible, highlighting the value return of our commitment to culture, trust, and employee engagement. We’re motivated to keep adapting our culture, maintain open communication, prioritise employee well-being, and focus on customer success while implementing scalable processes for our growing company.”
“Earning the Great Place To Work certification is a significant accomplishment which underscores consistent and deliberate commitment to providing an outstanding employee experience,” states Linda Löfman, senior consultant at Great Place to Work, Sweden.
“Achieving 91% on the Trust Index™ score is an impressive result which demonstrates unwavering dedication to creating an exceptional workplace experience. This remarkable achievement, coupled with their 100% response rate, is a testament to an exceptional level of employee engagement. Earning this designation means that Fast Track is one of the best companies to work for in Sweden and Malta.”
Great Place to Work’s research has consistently shown that high-trust organizations with strong camaraderie outperform their peers and have lower turnover rates, making camaraderie not just a “nice-to-have” but a strategic imperative for organizational success. Fast Track’s remarkable camaraderie score is a celebration of the company’s ability to protect the vision, create clarity and provide direction to internal teams.

Due to sustained interest in registering past the original deadlines set by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the regulator has extended the sign-up period for ESG reporting as outlined in the Voluntary ESG Code of Good Practice for the Remote Gaming Sector in Malta.
The Code serves as a specialised framework for reporting with the goal of enhancing transparency and encouraging ESG reporting. Covering 19 ESG areas across Environmental, Social and Governance sectors, this Code offers remote gaming enterprises a strategic blueprint for adhering to best practices. By doing so, companies can effectively respond to the changing expectations of key stakeholders within the sector.
Interested parties now have until Friday, 21 June 2024 to confirm their participation in this initiative by registering through this form. Please note that a licensee will not be able to submit an ESG report covering the reporting period of January to December 2023, unless they complete the registration process via the linked form.
Although participation to report on the basis of the Code is voluntary, MGA licensees are strongly encouraged to register to better showcase their dedication to sustainability and to contribute to the ongoing enhancement of the industry’s ESG profile.
