Fairfax, VA — Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have selected Highlight as one of the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™. This is Highlight’s 4th time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at No. 2 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 605,000 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 have at least one female C-suite executive.
“Thrilled to be recognized as a leading workplace for women for the fourth year in a row! Having seen Highlight evolve over the years, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to creating spaces where women thrive—at every level and every stage of their careers and lives,” said Vice President of People and Culture, Fiona Dykes. “I’m proud of the culture we’ve built and the incredible women I have the privilege to work alongside every day.”
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 measured the experience of women at participating companies and compared those results to their peers within the organization. The best companies create great work experiences for all women, from the frontline to the C-Suite.
“Congratulations to the Fortune Best Workplaces for Women,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies show that when women thrive in the workplace, everybody else does too. That’s what it means to be a For All company, where the expectation is that every employee can have a great experience and reach their full potential.”
