Step One

Assessment Completed

Every paying client receives their complete assessment deliverables — the score, findings and recommendations.

Step Two

Halbert Certified Workplace

Certification is awarded only when the workplace meets the established Halbert standard. It is not purchased.

You purchase the assessment. You do not automatically purchase certification. This distinction protects the long-term value of the recognition.
