We'll conduct our due diligence and if your organization obtains a benchmark score that is higher than 75% of the market benchmark, you will be certified as a Most Disability Friendly Employers™.

You can start by nominating your workplace to allow them to submit an application with us. We will contact them and request more information before we can certify them according to our standards. 

Our goal is to help you to celebrate your diversity & inclusion efforts and accomplishments; We work very hard to keep our process lean and effective. Our application fee structure is based on organization size and the number of certifications you want to apply for at a time as follows.  

No, they are different. 

Using an Olympics analogy for easy understanding, Most Family Friendly Employers™ Certification qualifies your workplace to compete in the Olympics because you are great, and working hard in the development of Diversity & Inclusion; Diversity & Inclusion Rankings lists those who have won the medals in the Olympics by demonstrating that they are leading the peers in creating diverse and inclusive work environments.  

In a proper explanation, the Most Family Friendly Employers™ Certification certifies and recognizes your workplace as a D&I valued employer using evidence provided and collected.  You may think that the certification is certifying an employer's efforts to accomplish Diversity, Equity, and inclusion. 

On the other hand, the Diversity & Inclusion Rankings lists the top and leading employers who have successfully accomplished Diversity and Inclusions and are leading their peers. You may think that the employers listed in the rankings are those who have proven to be in the top percentiles of D&I employers. 

No, we need to review your Diversity & Inclusion analytics, data, policies, and strategy first, and establish your scoring against our benchmark via the certification process, before you can be considered for the Diversity & Inclusion Rankings . 

The Certification is valid for 2 years (current year & the following year).

Once your company has been certified, it's time to celebrate and let everyone know! We will make announcement on our social media channels.

By enrolling in our Certification process, we will offer you discounts on our job postings (# depends on the size of your company).
