Employees scored their own workplaces. These 100 cleared the bar.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Best Practice Institute (BPI) today announced America's Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® for 2026. America's Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® is featured in The Wall Street Journal.
Every company on the list earned Most Loved Workplace® certification based on employee survey data, either from the Love of Workplace Index® survey or from the company's own employee survey reviewed by Best Practice Institute.
"Job candidates are saying 'show me, don't tell me' about your workplace, and these companies are backing up what they say about themselves with proof," said Louis Carter, Founder & CEO of Best Practice Institute and creator of Most Loved Workplace®.
This year's list includes First Watch (No. 2, restaurants), Databricks (No. 7, information technology), Kyndryl (No. 23, information technology), Zebra Technologies (No. 39, technology) and Cloudflare (No. 96, technology), alongside companies in financial services, health care, construction, manufacturing, hospitality and more.
"The companies on this list prove that when people feel respected, connected and driven by a shared goal, and when they make life better for their bosses and for each other, they don't just stay. They do the most meaningful work of their lives," said Carter.
