Top Employers, a certification issued by the CRF Institute, based on harmonised methodology throughout Europe

With over 20 years of international experience in human resources management, the CRF Institute, an independent, international body, identifies and certifies model employers on the world scene. 

Top Employers' original certification methodology is based on comparing HR policies, programmes and practices of companies and organisations, using as a reference European best practices, weighted at the local level by a scientific committee. In France this is made up of Jean-Marie Peretti (Essec), Charles-Henri Besseyre des Horts (HEC), Maurice Thévenet (Cnam) and Benjamin Chaminade (expert and consultant on talent management), and is responsible for defining and weighting the relative importance in France of the qualifying criteria that have been set at the European level.

Audited companies in fact undergo a double check: an internal one by the CRF Institute and then a methodological audit by the international firm, Grant Thornton.

A method based on 5 qualifying criteria

Both the quality of HR practices and the commitment of HR management in managing their talents are measured according to 11 themes, which are grouped into 5 qualifying criteria:

• Remuneration practices: salary policies and transparency, salary levels and indexing on individual and group performance, etc.
• Benefits in kind and working conditions: agreements on working hours and flexibility, telecommuting, stress management and well-being programmes etc.
• Training and professional development: support programmes for professional development, training programmes etc.
• Developing and managing talent: forward-looking skills management, involvement of managers / supervisors / HR managers in performance and skills assessment etc.
• Corporate culture: diversity, corporate social responsibility, internal communications, the role of HR etc.
