Forbes Names Robert Half as One of World’s Best Employers

By Robert Half on 13 October 2021

At Robert Half, we know what a difference it makes in morale when our employees feel valued, are compensated fairly and can advance in their career. Others are taking notice as well. This year, Forbes named Robert Half as one of the World’s Best Employers — the only talent solutions company to receive this accolade in the Business Services and Supplies category.

The Forbes list is based on a survey of 150,000 workers in 58 countries, who rated their willingness to recommend their employer to family and friends. Working with the market research firm Statista, Forbes had respondents rank every aspect of their job, ranging from salary and potential for growth to the company’s commitment to diversity. The survey also asked workers’ opinion about other employers in their respective industries.

This achievement is a testament to our efforts to provide the very best employee experience,” said M. Keith Waddell, president and CEO of Robert Half. “It also reinforces our reputation as one of the top talent solutions companies in the world.”

How we became the best in our industry

Our reputation as an ethical employer dates back more than 70 years, when Bob and Maxine Half founded the company. In the 1960s, Bob Half helped lead the fight against discriminatory employment practices. Since then, we’ve been setting the standard for employee satisfaction in several key areas:

  • Gender equality — Earlier this year, Forbes named Robert Half as one of the Best Employers for Women for the third year in a row. Through the Global Women’s Employee Network (GWEN) and other initiatives, we’re committed to amplifying women’s voices while creating community and growth opportunities for them at every level.
