These experiences included access to meaningful work, fair pay and plans for a future with their organizations. The analysis also included demographic patterns to ensure companies created great workplaces for all women, regardless of who they are or what jobs they perform.

"The Best Workplaces for Women deserve recognition for crafting environments where men and women alike can bring their best selves to work each day,” said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.
