Become an Employer of Choice in 2025: Attract, Retain, and Thrive

In today’s competitive job market, being recognised as a great employer isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. The Employer of Choice accreditation is here to set your company apart, providing you with the tools and insights to attract top talent, retain key employees, and prove your brand’s excellence.

What is the Employer of Choice Accreditation?

The Employer of Choice accreditation is a unique recognition that validates your business as an outstanding employer. It’s backed by data-driven insights gathered through a comprehensive survey that evaluates key areas of your organisation. With this accreditation, you not only showcase your strengths but also gain actionable insights to enhance your workplace culture and employee satisfaction.

How Does It Work?

The process is simple but thorough. Your employees will be invited to complete a short, 28-question survey designed to explore eight critical areas of your business:

  • Development
  • Culture
  • Diversity and Inclusion
  • Employee Engagement
  • Leadership
  • Remuneration
  • Reputation
  • Work-Life Balance

If you opt for a higher-tier package, you can even include bespoke questions tailored to uncover insights specific to your company’s unique needs.

Once the survey is complete, your results are benchmarked nationally and regionally against other organisations participating in the Employer of Choice survey. This allows you to see how you stack up—whether you’re leading the pack or identifying areas for improvement.

The Accreditation Process

Companies scoring over 70% on the survey can achieve accreditation at one of three levels: BASIC, SUPER, or PRO. These levels reflect both the depth of your engagement with the process and your results.
