Contact us to learn how you can become Respectful Employer certified.

Respect is one of the few values people across today’s polarized world can agree on. Employees, customers, and investors all want to know which organizations live this value. Until now, there hasn’t been a credible, independent way to prove it.

Respectful Employer Certification provides a rigorous, apolitical, transparent process that validates respect through documented evidence—not sentiment surveys or marketing claims.

• Developed by HR executives and employment lawyers.
• Evidence-based: 30 carefully designed criteria. Companies choose 16 that best reflect their strengths.
• Six areas of measurement: Trust & Transparency, Fueling Potential, Workplace Foundation, Fair Systems & Accountability, Dignity in Difficult Moments, and Leading with Excellence.
• Multiple pathways: flexible scoring acknowledges different ways to demonstrate respect.
• Transparent scoring: clear, auditable, and fair. Based on the evidence you provide.
• Practical process: guided review of your organization's policies and practices, involving HR and in-house counsel.
• Risk-managed: if you don’t qualify, results stay confidential, and you get an opportunity to improve.
