Independent evaluation
The Top Employers Institute assesses companies based on the information they provide in the HR Best Practices Survey. This information is then comprehensively validated by the institute. The survey encompasses six overarching HR domains that cover 20 HR topics, including “People Strategy”, “Work Environment”, “Talent Acquisition”, “Learning”, “Well-being” and “Diversity & Inclusion”.
The survey additionally pinpoints areas for development – where GEA’s HR practices could be further optimized – and provides corresponding impetus and recommended courses of action. Today, over 1,800 companies across more than 120 countries are assessed. According to a survey by the institute, the Top Employer certification seal is a key job search criterion for more than 90% of potential applicants.
