According to the Institute, being certified as a Top Employer showcases an organisation’s dedication to a better world of work and exhibits this through excellent HR policies and people practices.

The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey. The survey covers 6 HR domains comprising 20 topics, including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Well-being and Diversity & Inclusion and more.

ABSA Kenya Managing Director Jeremy Awori said the achievement places ABSA Kenya amongst a prestigious group of companies that are globally recognised for excellence in supporting employee growth and innovation.
