As AI continues to transform the workforce, more consumers are becoming conscious of how the businesses they support contribute to human employment.
The HFS Badge gives your company a way to stand out by showing customers that people still matter at your business.
Differentiate your company. Build trust. Get your HFS Badge today.
Modeled on how accreditation has always worked — you submit evidence, a board reviews it, and the mark is only ever issued, never bought.
Share a short statement explaining why your organization continues to value human involvement and employment. Tell us what people bring to your work that technology alone cannot replace.
Submit your statement along with your organization details. Your application is then sent to the Human First Society review panel for consideration.
Our human review panel considers your application against the principles of the Human First Society. You’ll receive a decision by email, along with notes if your application is not approved.
Approved businesses receive a certificate number and the HFS badge, ready to embed on your site and renew each year.
We look at the organization’s statement, its approach to human employment, and whether its commitment aligns with the principles of Human First.
We look for a meaningful reason why the organization continues to employ people and values the contribution they bring to its work.
Human First is about more than displaying a mark. We look for organizations whose stated values reflect an ongoing commitment to people and human contribution.
Human First verification is valid for 12 months. Organizations must reapply each year to maintain their verified status and reaffirm their commitment.
The badge links back to your live certificate on the HFS registry, so anyone can verify it wasn’t just pasted on — the same way a BBB or notary seal works.
