"We're extremely proud of this recognition. As a purpose-driven, human-centered firm, our key focus is understanding what our colleagues truly value, so we sustain a place of belonging where we welcome, respect and value different ideas," said Kristin Johnson, the firm's chief transformation and human resources officer. "Now in our centennial year, we are even more intentional about communicating the core principles on which our firm was founded. True to our purpose of partnering for positive impact, we are focused on our associate and leader behaviors that support the five culture mindsets of Leadership, Place of Belonging, Continuous Learning, Effective Decision Making and Growing Our Impact that will carry us forward into our next 100 years."

The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For award is based on responses from more than 4.5 million U.S. employees working at Great Place to Work-Certified^TM organizations. Survey statements collectively describe a great associate experience, defined as high levels of trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride and camaraderie.

"Best Companies' leadership has never been more necessary," said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work^®. "As workers struggle with the Great Resignation, burnout and COVID disruptions, these exceptional companies offer workplace experiences as strong as prior to the pandemic. These companies get that 'place' is wherever their employees are sitting or standing, and they are committed to make that place equitable, safe and productive. Their commitment to genuinely care for their people through trust, inclusion, purpose and meaningful flexibility for life circumstances goes beyond surface-level perks and is a model for the market to follow."
