One Standard. Earned.
A single certification that recognizes shops meeting the Halbert standard across people, process, leadership and retention.

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.
The Standard Is Earned Across Ten Areas
Assess. Improve. Verify. Certify.
Assessment
The complete six-pillar assessment is completed at your facility.
Score
Your Shop Performance Score is calculated across all pillars.
Findings
Strengths, gaps and retention risks are documented in the Executive Report.
Recommendations
Practical, prioritized recommendations for real shops.
Improvements
You implement the plan. Halbert does not shame or negatively rank you.
Verification / Reassessment
A verification or reassessment confirms where the standard is met.
Certification
If the standard is achieved, your shop is certified.
If the standard is not met initially, you are given a clear path to improve — never publicly shamed or negatively ranked.
Valid For 12 Months
Certified workplaces receive a certification date, expiry date, verification status and unique verification reference. Annual renewal provides a reason to keep maintaining standards.
