Betsson Group has announced that its Colombia office has been officially certified as a Top Employer by the prestigious International Top Employers Institute. This is another feather in the Group’s hat after being recognised as a Top Employer in Georgia last year and a Top Employer in Malta in 2023. The recognition is an official stamp on Betsson’s commitment to its employees, raising the bar globally and regionally by smashing benchmarks in a number of topics.

The certification from the Top Employers Institute is a distinguished honour awarded to companies that excel in the extensive HR Best Practices Survey. To earn this recognition, organisations go through a meticulous evaluation process, which covers six main HR domains and 20 topics, such as Business Strategy, Leadership, Employer Branding and Sustainability. The process begins with a 350-question online survey on HR best practices, typically completed over 6 to 8 weeks. This is followed by a comprehensive 8-hour live audit session, where the company must provide real-time evidence and detailed explanations to support its answers.

Betsson Colombia not only met but exceeded benchmarks in several areas, highlighting the Group’s focus on continuous improvement.

The rigorous certification process provides us with valuable benchmarks, enabling us to measure our performance against other leading global companies. We remain dedicated to continuously enhancing the employee experience across all our offices.”
