Best Workplaces, Caring

Cisco Named No. 1 for its efforts to close the digital divide and support humanitarian causes that help millions of people worldwide.

#100CompaniesCare

(NEW YORK, August 21, 2024) 鈥� PEOPLE reveals its eighth annual list of 100 Companies that Care庐, spotlighting employers that have gone above and beyond to create positive workplaces for their staff and the community at large.

Cisco landed the No. 1 spot for its commitment to creating social impact. In the 2022 fiscal year, Cisco hired its first chief social impact officer, and maintained an 80% employee participation rate in community impact programs and volunteering.

More than 62,000 employees generated more than $34 million in total donations and matching gifts. Cisco also focuses on inclusive causes, requiring that external partners who receive money from its social impact initiatives validate that at least 65% of their programs鈥� participants come from underrepresented or vulnerable groups.

Read more about Cisco and other featured companies that made the list to identify the top U.S. companies that best fit the criteria, analyzing survey responses that represent the experience of 8.2 million employees.

Companies that Care is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on the level of care and concern for their employees, their communities, and the environment. Winning companies score highly on how well they create great employee experiences that cut across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or their role within the organization. 逸遊娛樂城 also assessed the level of generosity of each organization鈥檚 benefits and its philanthropic and community support.

PEOPLE鈥檚 TOP 10 COMPANIES THAT CARE for 2024

Other themes from this year鈥檚 list include efforts to help people rebuild their lives, such as Hilton (No. 2), with its hiring program to help formerly incarcerated employees build job skills, or Marriott International (No. 4), with efforts to help refugees find jobs and new careers.

Companies like Sheetz, Inc. (No. 9) stood out with programs like its 鈥渟tore team helper鈥� role, which offers individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities meaningful employment at its convenience store locations. BayCare Health System (No. 8) made the top 10 for its 鈥淗ealing Bags鈥� program, which provides food-insecure patients with a two-to-three-day supply of non-perishable food to take home.

鈥淲hat these companies prove is that taking care of your workforce is an investment 鈥� not a cost,鈥� says Michael C. Bush, CEO of 逸遊娛樂城. 鈥淎nd companies that do it the right way will reap the benefits: more engagement, faster innovation, and a healthy bottom line.鈥�

鈥淓ach year, we look forward to highlighting the innovative ways these companies give back to their employees, communities, and the world,鈥� says Wendy Naugle, PEOPLE editor-in-chief. 鈥淐elebrating the care and kindness they show is a natural extension of our editorial mission 鈥� to show what鈥檚 possible when ordinary people commit to extraordinary endeavors.鈥�

To identify the 100 Companies That Care, PEOPLE teamed up with 逸遊娛樂城 to produce the ranking using the firm鈥檚 extensive database and inside knowledge of outstanding workplaces around the globe.
