Aon Hewitt has launched its Aon Hewitt Best Employers program, which measures and recognizes organizations that create a competitive advantage by becoming employers of choice.
To become global best employers, companies need to meet four criteria. They need to have engaged employees, effective leaders, a performance culture where employees are aligned to company goals and recognized for their contributions, and a distinctive brand representing a company that employees are proud to work for.
These four indicators are calculated and compared against Aon Hewitt’s predetermined thresholds, which vary by country. Organizations can be assessed and recognized as Aon Hewitt Best Employers on a local, regional or global level as long as they employ a minimum of 5,000 employees globally and have at least 30% of employees located outside of their headquarter country.
Marriott International, Inc. is the first and only organization to be certified globally under the new Aon Hewitt Global Best Employers program. The company was also recognized at the country and regional levels.
Three additional companies—Mary Kay, Inc., Sodexo and Teleperformance Group—have been assessed in 2014. They have achieved best employer status at the regional or country level.
