In association with Workhuman

We are in unprecedented times. The work environment has changed significantly, and today’s employees are demanding more. Research from Irish tech firm Workhuman has found that 88% would prefer to work for a company that has a clear policy on employee rights. While today’s leaders and employees want to be forward thinking and are eager to help drive change, knowing where to start often plagues progress. Workhuman has introduced a new programme of certification to give organisations and individuals a distinct next step.

The Workhuman Charter of Workplace Rights and accompanying Workhuman Certified programme. This new programme provides a clear path of action for progressive companies and leaders who are pioneering effective ways to create more human workplaces. The programme is designed to support, guide, and recognise companies and individuals in their commitment to shape the global future of work by focusing on nine essential employee rights.

Called the Workhuman Charter of Workplace Rights, the tenets of the modern workforce include the right to belong, grow, do meaningful work, be appreciated, have work-life harmony, be paid fairly, have privacy, feel safe and respected, and work in a place that strives to protect the environment.

The Workhuman Certified process guides professionals and leaders to evoke real change in their organisation, celebrating progress in creating a more holistic human workplace There are two options for certification:

• Workhuman Certified Enterprise: Organisations pledge to the Workhuman Charter of Workplace Rights and submit evidence of their dedication and ongoing initiatives in relation to the tenants. The certification helps companies stand out against the competition and retain talent and positions professionals as an employee of choice.
• Workhuman Certified Professional: Individuals complete modules through the Workhuman Hub, a unique micro-learning experience and gathering place where visitors can self-educate and be connected with like-minded people who want to make a difference in their workplace.

Workhuman Certified Enterprise validates organisation’s commitment to, and action in, the Workhuman Charter of Workplace Rights. It celebrates your promise and progress in making work human and delivers a powerful new way to tell your brand story to employees, prospective talent, customers, and shareholders.
