AMERICA'S MOST LOVED WORKPLACES 2021

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Newsweek's first Most Loved Workplaces rankings. The collection of
100 small, medium and large companies on the pages that follow come at a crucial
time for employees and their bosses alike. COVID-19 has turned the work world
upside down—and the relationship between employees and their employers has never
been more fraught. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 11.5 million
workers quit their jobs in the second quarter alone. (Are you keeping your
employees happy? You'd better be.)

There are other lists out there that rank good companies, to be sure. But we
believe our rankings, produced in partnership with the Best Practice Institute,
are different and dig deeper. We're doing more than just counting how many
benefits employers provide—a solid 401(k) plan, medical benefits, paid time off
and so on. Those things are, of course, important. But what we're measuring,
critically, is how employees feel about their organizations. There's a big
difference, after all, between workers getting a kick out of free Doritos and
whether they truly love and feel in sync with the company they work for.

"A Most Loved Workplace is focused squarely on the degree to which employees
have a positive feeling about their employer," says Louis Carter, CEO of the
Best Practice Institute, a leadership development center and think tank that
developed the research underpinning the rankings in collaboration with the
University of Pittsburgh. In other words: "high emotional connection or love
for" their place of employment.

Why is this important? Because that "emotional connection" is directly relatable
to the success of a company. Carter, and the BPI team, including head of
research Scott Baxt, have over the years studied more than 3,500 managers,
leaders and employees in a wide range of industries and company sizes. Their
findings: Employees are as much as four times more likely to be extra productive
if they love the company they work for. Also, not surprisingly, those same
workers tend to stay put, cutting down on turnover.

The two crucial factors behind this kind of loyalty? Respect from their bosses,
for one thing. It is also important, from the workforce's point of view, that
their company lives "the values and ethics it espouses," says Baxt. Adds Carter,
author of the book In Great Company: How to Spark Peak Performance by Creating
an Emotionally Connected Workplace: "The reality is that offering lots of perks
doesn't necessarily make your company the place people want to dedicate
themselves to."

To make the cut, companies on the list had to meet certain criteria. For
instance: Is collaboration and teamwork important—or does the company follow The
Hunger Games management model? Are there opportunities for advancement or do
jobs just dead-end? Is the company a good citizen or does it just pretend to be
a do-gooder? Some of our companies, of course, have slipped up in the past (and
some, for sure, will slip up in the future). But how they overcame the pitfalls
is what mattered to us at the end of the day—an indication of the strength of
leadership and determination to do the right thing.

Our Most Loved Workplaces reflect our criteria in a number of ways. Some
examples:
Footwear maker Crocs, No. 20 on our list, has always been big on public service,
and its employees expect it to deliver on that. Case in point: Early in the
pandemic, Crocs gave away some $40 million worth of its iconic foam clogs to
nurses and other frontline COVID workers. No. 18, Sweetgreen, a casual
restaurant chain, rewards employees for being good citizens by, among other
things, giving them three hours to vote and five paid hours to volunteer.

Patagonia, of course, is the role model for the practice-what-you-preach crowd.
Recently, our No. 30-ranked company pulled merchandise out of the Jackson Hole
Mountain Resort—Patagonia's biggest customer in the ultra-ritzy ski community.
Why? One of the resort's owners hosted a politically radical right-wing event
featuring GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. ("We join with
the local community that is using its voice in protest," a Patagonia spokeswoman
told the political publication, The Hill.)

Doing well by doing good is a great thing, but career-building, collaboration
and transparency matter too at our top 100 companies.

Apparel-maker Deckers, ranked No. 6, constantly encourages employees to submit
ideas, some of which may result in a direct investment by the company. Deckers
employees, up and down the corporate food chain, can join teams that pitch those
ideas directly to top execs including the CEO. Box, an internet cloud services
firm (No. 21) is big on employee career-skill building. Three times a year, the
company holds what it calls "LearnFest" professional development programs.

Are you in a career rut? Employees at LivePerson (No. 46), a computer software
company, can switch to different teams if they think their jobs are going
nowhere. A we're-all-in-this-together vibe? Spotify, our top company this year,
gets its executives to answer emails from employees up and down the food chain.
It also constantly shares its mission and values and asks workers for input.

Diversity is a big deal at many of these companies as well, which is important
to customers as well as employees, says Carter. No. 73 Denny's, the restaurant
chain, says around 55 percent of its restaurants are owned by minorities and 40
percent of its board are women, 56 percent of the directors are minorities.

We believe you'll find our 2021 Most Loved Workplaces list of great value—no
matter what position you hold. If you just want to know where your company
stands, this list is for you. If you're interested in finding a company where
your career and values are aligned, this list is for you. Or if you're an
executive who wants to do a better job and create a happier and more productive
workforce, these rankings will work for you as well. Dig in.

How We Did It - The Methodology

Newsweek's ranking of the Most Loved Workplaces 2021 pays tribute to companies
that put respect, caring and appreciation for their employees at the center of
their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of
the people who work for them.

The list was created in partnership with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a
leadership development center and think tank. BPI has conducted extensive
research to identify the specific management practices that lead to employee
motivation and satisfaction and to document the strong link between worker
satisfaction and productivity and performance. Based on that research, BPI
measured five basic areas, via surveys, to determine how employees feel about
where they work to create the 2021 Most Loved Workplaces list: the level of
collaboration at the firm; how positive workers are about their future at the
company; how much employer values align with employee values; respect at all
levels; and career achievement. Working in consultation with Newsweek editors,
BPI also gave consideration to the company's response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
including its return-to-office rules; workplace diversity, equity and inclusion;
as well as its compensation and benefits policies and practices.

All together, more than 800,000 employees were surveyed, at companies ranging in
size from less than 50 employees to more than 10,000; additionally several
hundred company officials were interviewed. To identify the top 100 companies
for the Newsweek ranking, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 35
percent of the initial score was based on employee survey responses; 25 percent
was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as
Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google; and 40 percent came from
direct interviews with and written responses from company officials. Newsweek
then conducted additional research into every company on the list, as well as
the top runners up, to determine the final list of 100 companies and their
ranking. (The list includes both U.S. firms and companies with a strong U.S.
presence that are based overseas.)

The rankings combine quantitative and qualitative analysis that was developed by
BPI in partnership with The School of International and Public Affairs at the
University of Pittsburgh and featured in the book In Great Company (McGraw-Hill,
2019) by BPI and Most Loved Workplace founder Louis Carter.
