At World’s Best Workplaces, More Employees Report Fairness, Well-Being, and Trust

Oakland, Calif., Nov. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- All around the world, employees need the same things from their workplace in order to thrive: trust in leaders, pride in their work, and connection to co-workers.

For the Fortune World’s Best Workplaces™ List, Great Place To Work® identified the 25 companies that, according to their employees, offer the best experience for workers of all backgrounds, job types, and geographic locations. More than 6.2 million survey responses were analyzed, representing the experiences of 18 million workers around the world.

At winning companies, 90% of employees reported having a great workplace, compared to a little more than half of employees at typical workplaces, according to a global market survey from Great Place To Work.

“It doesn’t matter what country or continent you call home,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “What matters is the trust companies build with their employees. High-trust workplaces listen to all their people, innovate, adapt, measure, and repeat.”

“This global list followed a rigorous process, one that assures that employees have spoken about what they think are exceptional workplaces where they feel trusted, empowered, and energized to do their best work," says Alyson Shontel, editor-in-chief of Fortune

To be eligible, companies have to be listed on at least five our Best Workplaces™ country lists around the world, employ at least 5,000 workers globally, with 40% or 5,000 of employees outside their headquarters country.

This year’s list was more competitive than ever, with a 28% increase in companies participating in the global survey from 2022, and a 40% increase in the number of employee surveys received.

Here are the top 5 companies:

  1. Hilton
  2. DHL Express
  3. Cisco
  4. AbbVie
  5. Teleperformance

The 25 winning companies had a larger percentage of workers reporting fair pay (75%), healthy work-life balance support (84%), and a voice in decisions that affected their lives (81%), compared to a typical global workplace.

At winning companies, 88% of employees would recommend their employer to friends and family — 34 percentage points higher than the global average of 54%.

Great Place To Work identified four ways the top companies build a better workplace:

  1. Involve employees in decisions that affect them
  2. Ensure every employee has a fair, engaged manager
  3. Encourage every employee to find a healthy work-life balance
  4. Connect every employee to meaningful work
