Fairfax, Virginia — Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have selected Highlight as one of the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™. This is Highlight’s 2nd time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at No 1. Earning a spot means that Highlight is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of nearly 600,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women, have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and at least one female C-suite executive.
Highlight Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Development Ashley Nichols said, “As an employee-owned company that is 60% women – from the top down – this acknowledgment really validates everything we’ve been doing to support our Highlight workforce. Beyond the ranking itself, the valuable feedback we get from the surveys is a critical tool to ensuring we are meeting the needs of our employee-owners and has driven benefits and cultural changes that better serve our evolving workforce. We are so pleased to be recognized for these efforts, but more importantly thrilled that our efforts have resulted in a healthy, satisfied team.”
The Best Workplaces for Women 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 women regardless of job role, race, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
Great Place To Work analyzed the gender balance of each workplace compared with Bureau of Labor Statistics industry data. Companies were also assessed on how representation changes as women rise from front-line positions to the board of directors.
“The things that create a great workplace for women are the same basic needs that every employee has,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “The best workplaces have closed the experience gap, providing access and opportunity to all regardless of an employee’s gender or background.”
“Fortune congratulates the companies that made the cut for the Best Workplaces for Women,” says Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. “Based on survey responses of so many women nationwide, these companies clearly demonstrate they have created workplaces where many feel valued, supported, and encouraged to do their best work.”
