Fairfax, VA – August 20, 2025
Great Place To Work® and PEOPLE magazine have honored Highlight Technologies as one of the 2025 PEOPLE® Companies that Care. This is Highlight’s 3rd time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at No. 88. Earning a spot means that Highlight has surpassed rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best companies to work for in the country.
The PEOPLE Companies that Care List is based on over 1.3 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing the experience of more than 8.4 million employees. Of those surveys, more than a million came from employees at companies eligible for this year’s list and these rankings are based on that feedback.
Companies also submit essays, which are validated by employee survey data to give a complete picture of the way an organization cares for its employees, its community, and the planet. To be considered for the list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 10 U.S. employees.
HIGHLIGHT’S VICE PRESIDENT OF PEOPLE & CULTURE, FIONA DYKES SAID:
Highlight is a great place to work for many reasons, but one of my favorites is our unique HighlightCares program. It allows for a personalized avenue to empower our employees, honor our customers, and make our communities better all at once. Whether we’re donating money, goods and services, or our time, much care goes into this program and its implementation. I’m proud to be part of a company with a strong, ongoing commitment to helping others.
The Companies that Care list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
“Businesses are vital pillars in the communities where they operate,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “Caring for your people and your community isn’t something you do after you build a successful business; it’s how to make your business successful.”
“Witnessing the innovative spirit with which these companies invest in their employees, communities, and the world is truly invigorating,” says Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE GM and editor-in-chief. “Their commitment reflects our mission, to feature what happens when ordinary people do extraordinary work.”
