PEOPLE and Great Place To Work Name Highlight to 2024 PEOPLE Companies that Care List

Fairfax, VA — Great Place To Work® and PEOPLE magazine have honored Highlight as one of the 2024 PEOPLE® Companies that Care. This is Highlight’s 2^nd time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at No. 51. 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 8.2 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 DIRECTOR OF PEOPLE & CULTURE, FIONA DYKES SAID:

There are so many things that make Highlight a great place to work, but our HighlightCares program is one of the most unique. It allows for a unique avenue to honor our customers, empower our employees, and better our communities all at once. From donating time, dollars, or goods and services, so much genuine care has gone into this program. I’m proud of our team’s continued commitment and I’m very grateful to be part of this organization.

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.

“What these companies prove is that taking care of your workforce is an investment — not a cost,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “And companies that do it the right way will reap the benefits: more engagement, faster innovation, and a healthy bottom line.”

“Each year, we look forward to highlighting the innovative ways these companies give back to their employees, communities and the world,” says Wendy Naugle, PEOPLE editor-in-chief. “Celebrating the care and kindness they show is a natural extension of our editorial mission—to show what’s possible when ordinary people commit to extraordinary endeavors.”
