HRO Today has introduced the HR100, a comprehensive ranking of the top 100 HR departments, based on an evaluation of nearly 1,000 companies across eight core areas: workplace culture, employee benefits, diversity and inclusion, employee development and talent management, human resources innovation, leadership development, talent acquisition, and employer brand. This initiative fills a gap in the HR industry by providing a definitive source for identifying companies with exemplary HR practices.
The methodology behind the HR100 involves aggregating and weighting data from 55 established benchmarking and ranking programs, ensuring a balanced assessment of both external and internal recognition. This approach yields an index that reflects overall HR excellence, offering valuable insights into the practices that distinguish leading companies in the field.
Significantly, the HR100 ranking underscores the connection between HR excellence and business success. Companies in the top 25 of the HR100 exhibit a median EBITDA per employee of $152,000, compared to $99,626 for those in the bottom 25, marking a 41.6% difference. Furthermore, top-ranked companies report an average two-year revenue growth of 12.0%, outpacing the 9.0% growth of their lower-ranked counterparts by 28.6%. These findings highlight the tangible benefits of investing in high-quality HR practices.
