2 minutes read


AMSTERDAM, 12 February 2021 – HAL Investments has acquired the majority of shares of Top Employers Institute, from its founder and former directors. Top Employers Institute is active in certification and benchmarking of leading employers around the world. 1 691 companies have been successfully certified for 2021 based on the excellent working and development conditions they create for their people. Through the Certification Programme, Top Employers Institute has an impact on the development opportunities employees receive from their employers. As such Top Employers Institute contributes to creating workplaces that enrich the working lives of over seven million employees in 120 countries/regions. 

David Plink, CEO of Top Employers Institute: “We are very happy to have HAL Investments as a partner. They have a long-term vision and strongly support our growth ambitions and our purpose to enrich the world of work. This allows us to continue to develop innovative products for our clients, building on our unique and validated HR insights. In addition, we are able to further expand our global presence. This expansion fits with our clients’ needs as multinationals have an increased desire to benchmark and harmonise human resource policy in all countries in which they operate.”     

Market developments underpin growth potential 

The shortage of skilled talent is forecasted to grow because of demographic developments and an increased need for knowledge workers. Employer recognition is key for talent attraction and retention. HAL’s acquisition follows these market developments. People determine company success. Top Employers Institute is a global authority on recognising excellence in people practices. Their independent methodology will help their clients to improve its HR practices.  

Top Employers Institute will continue to operate as a stand-alone business, with focus on preserving the unique culture at Top Employers Institute: client-focused, purpose-driven, entrepreneurial and cooperative.
