7 benefits of working for a certified Top Employer

As an employee of a Top Employer, it is important to know why your organisation has achieved this coveted certification and what the benefits are for yourself.  Steven Van Raemdonck, Regional Manager for Top Employers Institute Belux & Nordics, shares his thoughts and views on the advantages of working for a Top Employer organisation:  

1. Top Employers strive to achieve their annual certification because they put their people first, with the best HR practices in place to support you as their primary asset.  
2. Top Employers Institute covers a wide range of HR aspects, including the entire employee journey. Often these aspects concern everyday working conditions. As a Top Employer, your organisation demonstrates their commitment to raising the bar on the way they interact with their employees, from recruitment right through to the final exit interview. 
3. Elements such as employee involvement, as well as communication and transparency towards the employee are key elements for becoming certified as a company. A good Top Employer will ensure that employees remain engaged and have constant opportunities to develop.  
4. Based on the feedback provided by HR Auditors at Top Employers Institute, certified organisations have the opportunity to improve and optimise their HR policies.
