Trusted Firms Global

Certification Program

Trusted Firms Global – Employees

Certifies employee experience, measured through independently collected staff feedback.

The ladder mirrors the Clients program, with one difference that works in the firm’s favour: for employees, the population is the firm’s own headcount. Completeness can be reconciled against the staff list, so an all-staff invitation is verifiable in a way a client list rarely is.

Certification tiers

Standard

The firm submits to independent measurement

Independent collection and measurement of staff feedback by Client Culture, checked through its manual integrity review. Completeness is not vouched at this tier, so no public score is published – the claim is independence and certified status.

Verified

The measurement is structurally protected from selection

The invited population is reconciled against the firm’s own headcount records, so selective omission is detectable. Coverage is checked across cycles.

Gold

The highest level of process transparency

Sustained coverage across every cycle for a full year – every employee given the opportunity to provide feedback each cycle – with structured, evidenced follow-up on the themes staff raise.

Previously awarded

Certification in this category has been awarded before. The HLB Mann Judd Network – Australasia was accredited in 2025 under Client Culture’s earlier Trusted Firms platform, and Macpherson Kelley in 2023. Those credentials predate the current tier structure and the public verification system; both re-enter through the ladder above as their measurement data migrates.

Register interest

The Employees program is opening to new firms as measurement migrates to the current platform. Get in touch to discuss certification for your firm.
