Appropriate pattern
“[Organization] is recognized by Progress at Work for the [cycle] period, following review of its employee-learning evidence.”
Keep the organization and cycle close to the recognition reference.
Recognition communications
Communicate recognition
with precision.
Recognition should be presented as time-bound employer recognition based on the reviewed evidence cycle. Clear wording protects employees, audiences and the value of the program.
Scope
What the recognition refers to
Approved use should identify the recognized organization or agreed scope and the applicable annual cycle. It should not be stretched to certify every course, product, employee or business claim.
Before publication, confirm the exact organization name, recognition wording, cycle label and placement with the internal owner.

Do not imply
“All our training is accredited,” “our employees are certified,” or “recognition guarantees better performance.” These claims go beyond the review scope.
Contexts
Where careful use matters

| Website or careers page | Organization and cycle | Page remains current |
| Recruitment material | Employer recognition context | No employee-level implication |
| Internal announcement | What was reviewed | Employees are not individually certified |
| Proposal or presentation | Exact recognized entity | No guarantee or endorsement claim |
Lifecycle
Label, expiry and renewal

Governance
A simple internal approval route

Checks placement, surrounding claims and local requirements.

Uses the approved version and schedules a review before expiry.
Misuse check
Pause before publishing
Common problems
Missing cycle dates, cropped or altered marks, recognition presented as course accreditation, and old claims left live after expiry. If context is uncertain, contact the program before publishing.
