The Independent Standard for Hospitality
VERiFAIR is the independent standard for responsible hospitality employers. Businesses that successfully pass verification achieve the VERiFAIR Standard, demonstrating a clear commitment to responsible workplace practices and ongoing accountability.

Start Verification


MORE THAN POLICIES ON PAPER


VERiFAIR independently verifies how workplace policies are implemented in practice and maintained over time


Accountability continues after verification, with employees given access to VERiFAIR’s confidential reporting system.



WHAT THE VERiFAIR STANDARD MEANS

Our verification process covers:

• Workplace policies and how they are implemented and maintained.
• Staff and manager training.
• Sexual harassment prevention.
• Handling harassment, including concerns involving customers, guests, clients, suppliers and contractors.
• Information provided to workers about trade union rights.
• Tips and service-charge arrangements, where applicable.

Businesses provide written explanations and can upload supporting evidence. Our team reviews the submission against the requirements of the VERiFAIR Standard and requests clarification or identifies gaps where needed.

Businesses must also accept the VERiFAIR pledge, commit to annual re-verification and provide employees with access to VERiFAIR’s confidential reporting system.

Every business holding the Standard is subject to ongoing accountability and annual re-verification.

What businesses receive:

The VERiFAIR Standard is maintained through annual re-verification, with independent accountability built in throughout the year via VERiFAIR’s confidential employee reporting system.

• VERiFAIR Standard visual assets, including an official display asset
• A formal verification certificate
• A public listing in the VERiFAIR directory
• An employee implementation pack to support structured internal rollout and team awareness

“A responsible workplace shouldn’t just be something a business says it has. The VERiFAIR Standard independently verifies it, with accountability built in, all year round.”

Why The VERiFAIR Standard Matters

Hospitality is one of the most demanding industries in the world.

Behind every successful business is a workplace culture that must be actively built, structured and protected.

The VERiFAIR Standard independently verifies businesses that demonstrate accountable leadership, clear workplace policies and a genuine commitment to fair treatment.
