Return to Business in a Post-Pandemic World

The Problem

Employees don't trust that employers have their best interest in mind. Customers and guests want to feel safe, too. Plus, there's a new expectation to align workplace culture with a more purposeful mission.

The Solution

Successful organizations react to this problem by establishing a more purposeful vision, mission, and values, more aligned to the needs of employees and customers today. ​​To build confidence and trust, the bar must be raised to a new threshold of commitment to safety, health, and well-being. ​​And organizations need to re-envision benefits through a framework of policy, products, and services that meet the needs of return-to-work strategies, remote and hybrid workforces, and efforts to retain, recruit, and engage workforce and customers.​​​
Employees need to have confidence that their employers have made it a mission to protect their health and well-being in order to return to work. And, research shows purpose and profit are positively linked, with consumers more likely to purchase from companies they feel are doing good for society (having a purpose) and will pay a premium for brands that contribute to the community. 

Confidence in the Seal

​The GHA For Business seal provides confidence that ​an organization prioritizes employee, customer, and visitor health. ​We believe that everyone is entitled to a healthy, safe environment ​to ensure great productivity, great business practices, and great experience.

Multiple locations will be treated as a network and if policies are unified throughout the networked locations, a sample percentage of locations will be reviewed and billed for accreditation per number of employees at each location. Network pricing will be determined at the time of application.

Reaccreditation fee every three years is based on the number of full-time employees within the organization at the locations being accredited at the time of reaccreditation. Reaccreditation after three years is evaluated against updated standards. It is not a full survey review upon reaccreditation.

Annual fees are designed to cover access to resources, updates, and the review of the compliance/self-assessment form. Having an initial fee and annual fees provides financial convenience over a larger upfront fee and is normal practice for accreditation bodies.
