Global Most Loved Workplaces 2023
What does it mean to be a Most Loved Workplace®? Fringe benefits and fair compensation influence employee engagement of course, but it takes much more: evidence shows culture is an even more significant influencer on sentiment. Employees who feel included, recognized, and valued love their workplaces. And associates who love their workplaces—dreamers, doers, innovators and leaders—enjoy a longer tenure and do their best work.
The companies on this list stand out to their employees. They have open-door policies where employees feel heard, offer flexibility that supports work/life balance, and provide opportunities for professional development, promotion and recognition—to name a few. To that end, Newsweek, in partnership with benchmark research company Best Practice Institute (BPI), is proud to announce our ranking of "Global Most Loved Workplaces 2023." For the first time, we are naming the top 100 global workplaces. This ranking is based on BPI's proprietary Love of Workplace Index™ analysis of data provided directly by employees, along with analysis of external public online ratings and direct interviews with and responses from company officials.
Congratulations to these extraordinary workplaces!

Newsweek's ranking of the 2023 Most Loved Workplaces pays tribute to companies that put respect, caring and appreciation for their employees at the center of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them.
The list was created in partnership with Best Practice Institute (BPI), a benchmark research company that studies and identifies the specific management practices that lead to employee motivation and satisfaction and has documented the strong link between worker satisfaction and productivity and performance. BPI measures five basic areas to determine how employees feel about where they work to create the Most Loved Workplaces list: 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. Working in consultation with Newsweek editors, BPI also gave consideration to return-to-office policies, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging and other workplace and talent development initiatives.
Altogether, more than 2 million employees were surveyed at companies ranging in size from 30 employees to more than 10,000. Additionally, several hundred company officials were interviewed.
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 responses to BPI's proprietary Love of Workplace survey. Another 25 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google. The final 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 rankings. (The list includes both U.S. firms and companies with a strong U.S. presence that are based overseas.)
The rankings combine quantitative and qualitative analysis that was developed by BPI in partnership with The School of International and Public Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh and featured in the book In Great Company (McGraw-Hill, 2019) by BPI, and Most Loved Workplace founder Louis Carter.
