<h1>Legal risks of marketing an 85% employee endorsement certification: substantiation, misleading claims, contract and reliance issues (Section 5)</h1> A private cloud training and consulting company announced certification by a global workplace-certification body based on an employee survey reporting 85% endorsement of the employer's work environment. The press release characterizes the certification as evidence of a people-first culture, cites internal practices (monthly awards, upskilling reimbursements) and summarizes the company's history, client base and training metrics. Legal considerations include the accuracy and substantiation of the 85% claim and other performance representations when used in marketing, potential liability for misleading or unverified statements, contractual or employment implications of publicly stated employee benefits, and reliance on the certification's methodology and disclaimer.
