A NOTE FROM OUR EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ALYSON SHONTELL
This week, Fortune released its 26th annual list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For with our partner, Great Place to Work.

 

For the third year in a row, Cisco took the top spot. One of the key reasons is CEO Chuck Robbins’ dedication to full transparency with his workforce, even during the toughest moments like layoffs. You can read his interview about Cisco’s culture with Fortune‘s Susie Gharib here.

 

Fortune senior reporter Megan Leonhardt helmed the overall list and shares a few more insights she gleaned from the group, as well as how the companies were chosen:
This year’s list was created based on feedback from over a million employees as of August 2022—well before layoffs hit and started to threaten the employer-worker relationship. Yet the best companies have survived economic downturns before. In fact, many of the best companies on this year’s list have consistently ranked high for decades.

 

The best companies in Fortune’s 2023 ranking are traditionally known not only for their great benefits, professional development opportunities and engaging workplaces, but also for their strong levels of employee trust. This is important information for job seekers, and right now there are a lot of those.

 

The vast majority of Americans, 96% of workers, are planning to secure a new job this year. While most workers are seeking out higher pay, many are also looking for employers that offer opportunities for professional growth and a good company culture.
Check out the full ranking of the 100 Best Companies to Work For here.
