HRO Today has annually ranked HR service providers through Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings™ for nearly two decades. Its research revealed that while there are many rankings of various aspects of HR, there isn’t one definitive source of which companies are the best for human resources. Enter HRO Today’s HR100.

The HRO Today research team reviewed nearly 1,000 companies to come up with the top 100 HR departments. HRO Today’s HR100 scores and ranks HR departments in 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. Performance in these core categories is aggregated, forming an index that provides a reasonable score for overall HR excellence.

To create the ranking, the HRO Today research team collected available public data from 55 established benchmarking and ranking programs in the identified categories. This allows us to generate a score based equally on depth and breadth of outside recognition and internal recognition. The data is then aggregated and weighted to create the final score, producing the index used in the ranking.

Conclusion

HR excellence is strongly linked to business success. Although the HR100 ranking does not directly use financial metrics like stock performance to calculate the ranking, companies at the top of the list consistently outperform those ranked lower in key areas such as revenue, profit, and growth. We’re seeing this correlation year after year.

Key Findings

• $152,000 … the median EBITDA per employee of companies in the top 25 of the HR100. By comparison, the median EBITDA of companies in the bottom 25 of the ranking is $99,626, a 41.6% difference.
• +12.0% … the average two-year revenue growth of companies in the top 25 of the HR100. The average two-year revenue growth of companies in the bottom 25 of the ranking is +9.0%, by comparison, a 28.6% difference.
• The Fortune 500 companies collectively saw a 6% increase in revenue between 2025 and 2024, or one-half those at the top of the HR100.

SharedXpertise Media, publishers of HRO Today magazine and HRO Today Global, producers of the Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings, and organizers of the HRO Today Forums and Educational Events, have released a new research report coinciding with the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 47^th president of the United States, Election Results Unlikely To Impact Hiring or Business Growth: Workforce Plans Steady Awaiting Market Improvement.

This HRO Today Research Flash Report, sponsored by Sevenstep, a KellyOCG company, posits that election results can significantly influence organizations’ hiring strategies, largely due to shifts in policy and economic conditions that follow changes in government leadership. Election outcomes often determine government priorities in areas like healthcare, energy, immigration, and taxes. Election seasons often bring economic uncertainty, which can affect consumer confidence and investment. Businesses may adopt cautious hiring approaches, slowing expansions or freezing new positions.

Study participants were asked to gauge the impact of the U.S. Presidential election outcome on their organizations’ plans to grow their business over the next 12 months. To show the impact or lack thereof that the most recent election has had on business planning or operations in the short term, study participant responses are segmented by respondents who most identify with the Democratic or Republican political parties or consider themselves independent.

“Organizations are very much in a ‘wait and see mode’ with respect to hiring,” says the author of the report, HRO Today SVP of Research Larry Basinait. “The outcome of the changing administration did not change short-term plans for hiring.”

Other questions asked of respondents included:

• What are the perceptions of HR executives on their ability to meet TA needs or their organizations’ business objectives?
• Does one’s political views impact one’s perception of confidence in one's ability to execute workforce planning and one’s organization’s ability to meet business needs?

“Sevenstep’s market intelligence and current client experience align with the findings in the report, indicating a cautious move forward in hiring, continued volatility in the market, and a tight supply of critical workers in skilled fields,” said Sevenstep Executive Vice President of Client Services Noelle Paras. “We have achieved great success with clients who apply our ready-for-everything talent acquisition model with a deep array of resources to navigate the hiring markets ahead.”

To review all the results, this exclusive research report is posted online at https://www.hrotoday.com/market-intelligence/research/flash-report-election-results-unlikely-to-impact-hiring-or-business-growth/.

SharedXpertise Media, publishers of HRO Today magazine and HRO Today Global, producers of the Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings, and organizers of the HRO Today Forums and Educational Events announced the HRO Today Total Workforce Solutions Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings™.  Based solely on feedback from buyers of the rated services, the ratings are not based on the opinion of the HRO Today staff.  HRO Today collects feedback annually through an online survey which they distribute to buyers directly through the HRO Today mailing lists and indirectly through service providers.

Since 2018, a section was added to both the managed service program (MSP) and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings™ questionnaires that addressed the use of total workforce solutions (TWS). If respondents indicated they use the same provider for both contingent and full-time employee needs, they were asked a series of questions pertaining to TWS. These study results were then combined with the relevant components of the MSP and RPO study findings and consolidated into one data set.

Visit HRO today for the full list of Baker's Dozen winners.

The methodology that produced the ranked list was very consistent with other Baker’s Dozen studies. To determine an overall ranking from this data, HRO Today analyzes results across three subcategories: service breadth, size of deals, and quality of service. Using a predetermined algorithm that weighs questions and categories based on importance, HRO Today calculates scores in all three subcategories as well as an overall score. These scores are the basis of the Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings™ and are presented in the following tables to demonstrate the relative differences among the ranked service providers.

The only influence that HRO Today has on the outcome of this survey is that HRO Today discards incomplete surveys or surveys outside the normal distribution. This includes surveys that are too perfect as to be possible or so negative that they are spiteful and inaccurate.

Otherwise, HRO Today has no impact on the survey outcome. While HRO Today does not claim that its methodology is the only viable rating program available, HRO Today does vouch for its statistical validity. HRO Today hopes the TWS Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings™ provide insight into a company's next RFP process.

At its HRO Today Forum EMEA conference in Barcelona, HRO Today magazine announced its 2023 Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings for RPO EMEA.

These much sought-after rankings are based solely on feedback from buyers of the rated services; the ratings are not based on the opinion of the HRO Today staff. We collect feedback annually through an online survey, which are distributed both directly to buyers through opt-in mailing lists and indirectly by sending service providers the link to send to their clients.

Once collected, response data are loaded into the HRO Today database for analysis to score each provider with a statistically significant sample. For this survey, five responses were required from a location in Europe and APAC.

To determine an overall ranking, the HRO Today research team analyzes results across three subcategories: breadth of service, deal sizes, and quality of service. Using a predetermined algorithm that weighs questions and categories based on importance, scores are calculated in all three subcategories as well as an overall score. The rankings are based on those scores. The numbers presented in the following tables represent those calculated scores; they are included to demonstrate the relative differences among the ranked service providers.

HRO Today's only influence on the outcome of this survey is that HRO Today will discard incomplete surveys or surveys outside the normal distribution. This means surveys that are too perfect to be possible or so negative that they are spiteful and inaccurate. Otherwise, HRO Today has no impact on the survey outcome. While HRO Today does not claim that our methodology is the only viable ratings program available, we vouch for its statistical validity. The hope is that this ranking provides some insight into a company's next RPO process.

Madison Global, a global leader in Social Recognition, has enhanced its cloud-based SaaS solution, Maestro, with new integrations to Microsoft Outlook and SharePoint, through MaestroCONNECT. The award-winning Maestro platform uses social employee recognition to strengthen the bond between managers and their teams; and the relationship between employees and their companies. Through a unique Strategic Program Design process, effective communications, comprehensive training and robust business analytics, Maestro delivers a complete solution for an organization’s Rewards & Recognition, Sales Incentives, and Service Anniversary programs.

With MaestroCONNECT, an API that allows the key functions of the social recognition technology to be integrated into any third-party or proprietary application a company may be using, customers benefit from seamless connections into technology applications used each day by employees.

By integrating with Microsoft Outlook, employees can record feedback, save email communications, and more as part of recognition content to use with peers. In addition, creating a seamless handshake for employee recognition and reward data into a company’s SharePoint instance removed redundancy and ultimately increases usability. SharePoint allows companies to share and manage content, knowledge, and applications to empower teamwork, quickly find information, and seamlessly collaborate across the organization.

“With app usage during work increasing, organizations find themselves continually looking for solutions that will not deter from productivity and/or collaboration due to ‘app fatigue.’ It’s a balancing act of implementing something incredibly worthwhile like an employee rewards and recognition program while avoiding having to ask their teams to log into and duplicate data for yet another application each day,” says Alex Alaminos, Madison CEO. “An employee recognition tool is far too important for a company’s growth, culture, recruitment and retention to be seen as more ‘work,’ Alaminos continued, “That’s why integrating with as many third-party programs used by companies of all sizes is critical, to increase usability and visibility, and to spread the culture of recognition.”

Customers can look forward to additional integrations coming this Fall/Winter 2023 with leading enterprise-level communication tools Microsoft Teams, Yammer and Slack. Launch dates will be released in late summer 2023.
