Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For^®

To determine the list each year, global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work and Fortune magazine considers extensive culture audits and survey responses from over half a million employees across all industries in the United States. Employees rated their workplace on many factors including trust in leadership, fairness and camaraderie.

This year, Great Place to Work^® surveyed employees on issues including how trustworthy, caring and fair their company is in times of crises; employees’ physical, emotional and financial health; and the company’s broader community impact.

Particular attention was paid to how employees’ experiences varied depending on their job role, gender, race/ethnicity, payroll status and other characteristics to ensure that the company is creating a great workplace for all. This is Workiva's 18th recognition from Great Place to Work and Fortune, including three consecutive years on the 100 Best list.

Company rankings are derived from over 60 employee experience questions within the Great Place to Work Trust Index™ survey.
