What’s so special about these companies?

While there is no single right way to create a great workplace, the very best companies have managed to create a culture where employees TRUST the people they work for, have PRIDE in what they do, and ENJOY the people they work with.

Proven ROI – What’s more, independent research by the Russell Investment Group (see attached visual) shows a strong correlation between high-trust workplace cultures and financial performance. This graph tracks the financial performance of publicly traded companies on our Fortune list of 100 Best Companies.

  1. This is a great idea as people spend the greater part of their working lives at their places of employment. It must be a safe, harrass free environment that promotes healthy lifestyle and stimpulates personal growth … a workplace worthy of referring others to.
