The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey covering six domains across 20 topics. CHEP’s high scores, which improved on its 2024 performance across the board, reflected the breadth and maturity of its workplace programme. Notable areas of strength and outperformance included how the company was shaping the employee experience through organisational design and the workplace environment, and uniting employees through its purpose and values, sustainability approach and commitment to ethics and integrity.
Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “In a time of constant change—where technological, economic, and social shifts are ever-present—exceptional times bring out the best in people and organisations.
