The collection of 100 small, medium and large companies on the pages that follow come at a crucial time for employees and their bosses alike. COVID-19 has turned the work world upside down—and the relationship between employees and their employers has never been more fraught. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 11.5 million workers quit their jobs in the second quarter alone.

Methodology

To identify the top 100 companies for the Newsweek ranking, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 35 percent of the initial score was based on employee survey responses; 25 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google; and 40 percent came from direct interviews with and written responses from company officials. Newsweek then conducted additional research into every company on the list, as well as the top runners up, to determine the final list of 100 companies and their ranking. (The list includes both U.S. firms and companies with a strong U.S. presence that are based overseas.)

Five key areas were measured to gauge employee sentiment: the level of collaboration at the firm; how positive workers are about their future at the company; how much employer values align with employee values; respect at all levels; and career achievement. Given the many challenges that arose from COVID-19, the survey also included company responses and adaptability to the pandemic, like return-to-office rules; workplace diversity, equity and inclusion; as well as compensation and benefits policies and practices.

The top 10 companies on the list of Most Loved Workplaces are:

Spotify
Dell
SAP America
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts
Navy Federal Credit Union
Deckers
Cadence
Hasbro
FanDuel
Capgemini

"In order to compete for top talent, companies today have to be innovative and thoughtful about the environment they're creating for their employees,".

"In the wake of the pandemic, the business hit hurdles in terms of retaining and attracting employees – but the companies that made this list are delivering the respect, care, and appreciation that it takes to create a positive workplace that nurtures talent," said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek.

"The best way to determine the strength of a company's culture is by measuring the degree of love employees feel for their workplace," said Louis Carter, CEO and Founder of Best Practice Institute and Most Loved Workplace.

Spotify on top of the list

"We at Spotify are proud to be given the top spot on Newsweek's Most Loved Workplaces list and the credit really goes to all of our band members who have shown incredible resilience and compassion for one another over the last year," said Katarina Berg, Chief Human Resource Officer, Spotify. "We're constantly thinking about the future of work and how we can best support our employees, and keeping the well-being of our Spotifiers at the center of that thinking creates the best experience for them."

“At U. S. Steel, fostering a high-performance, caring culture is key to our success. Our industry-leading safety performance, diverse and collaborative workplaces, and inclusive benefit offerings are examples of how we create an environment where employees can thrive,” said U. S. Steel President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Burritt. “Our employees are why we are so confident we can transform our 120-year-old company into a sustainable model for the steel industry of the future.”

We practice and cultivate these values every day at Strava, and it's reflected in the joy and inspiration our community of over 90 million athletes feel while using the platform," said Michele Bousquet, Chief People Officer, Strava.
