The Top Employers methodology
The methodology consists of three phases:
1. Research phase
Potential participants are selected and complete the research assessment.
Pre-Selection | Research | Audit

Since 1991, the CRF Institute has developed its Top Employers methodology to identify the front-runners in the field of HR management. This has resulted in a thorough and objective selection and screening process, in which the Top Employer HR Best Practices Survey and rating are crucial elements.
