Top Employers 2022 Certification Celebration

The Top Employers 2022 Certification Celebration will be hosted on 20 January. This year, we bring together HR leaders and their peers to connect, inspire, and celebrate a better world of work in an exciting virtual format in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Celebration City! The event is open to certified Top Employers only.

As we build on the lessons learned during 2021, we continue to celebrate excellence in people practices, and this is the overarching theme of the Top Employers Certification Celebration 2022. After networking with your colleagues and peers, the programme will move on to opportunities to learn from the very best people practices. HR leaders from certified organisations will be presenting their HR best practices and you’ll have a chance to interact with them.
