In a year with unprecedented unrest in the global labor market, the best companies stood strong.

Workers reevaluated their careers and lives. Employers around the world scrambled to hold on to their top talent. For companies that made the Fortune World’s Best Workplaces™ List in 2022, building trust-based relationships with employees led to higher rates of retention and productivity.

For employees at these top 25 companies, on average:

  • 88% said they “give extra” to their organization
  • 87% said they would recommend their workplace to friends and family
  • 85% said they want to work for their employer long-term

“For companies with a global workforce, achieving a consistent experience for every employee is exponentially more difficult — and impressive,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®.

“Despite the many challenges facing global businesses in 2022, these companies have put the well-being of their people first. Their success is proof positive that when companies do right by their employees, no problem is too great to overcome,” he says.

Who made the list

Great Place To Work® identified the 25 winning workplaces by surveying nearly 4.5 million employees worldwide, representing the workplace experience of nearly 15 million workers. To be eligible, companies must have made a national Best Workplaces™ list in five or more countries, and have more than 5,000 global employees.

These employers stood out for their commitment to employee well-being, flexible work, and equity for all workers.

DHL Express took the top spot again in 2022, followed by Hilton at No. 2 and Cisco at No. 3. All three companies ranked in the top three on last year’s World’s Best Workplaces List.

Millicom, Medtronic, Nestle and Bristol-Meyers Squibb are all new members of the list for 2022. FedEx also returned to the list for the first time since 2014 and Accenture returned to a spot on the list for the first time since 2011.

  1. DHL Express
  2. Hilton
  3. Cisco
  4. Salesforce
  5. Millicom
  6. AbbVie
  7. Deloitte

What separates the World’s Best?

Fifteen percent more of employees at the World’s Best Workplaces said their company offered “special and unique” benefits, compared to other surveyed companies. Popular among the offerings for the top 25 were mental health programs, such as Cisco (No. 3 on the list) and its mindfulness-based Mind Set program that builds resiliency, boosts mental stamina, unlocks creative thinking and helps individuals manage change.

Flexibility was also a key component of employee experiences, even for companies that can’t readily offer remote/hybrid work. Hilton (No. 2) stressed its efforts to help workers with advanced scheduling and flexible options, including call centers where team members can set their own hours and opt-in to be paid on a daily basis.

Equity was another key trait of many of the companies on the list in 2022, with leaders like DHL Express (No. 1) reporting heavy investments in diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging for a global workforce. In a survey, 94% of DHL Express employees said they believe the company promotes diversity and an inclusive environment.
