The Best Workplaces for Diversity

Fortune research partner Great Place to Work compiles this annual list of U.S. companies that create inclusive cultures for women and people of all genders, people of color, LGBTQ people, employees who are Boomers or older, and people who have disabilities. In addition to diversity numbers, the ranking is based on surveys of employees, who rated the level of camaraderie they experience at work, the effectiveness of their leaders, and other factors that inspire trust in an employer.

The Top Ten

Stryker

NEW

Employees say: "Diversity is great. Seeing women in higher roles is encouraging. A lot of opportunities for individuals that are eager to grow. They also care about you personally, not just as a worker, but as a human being." Read the Great Place to Work review.

Cisco

NEW

Employees say: "I like that there are quite a few women of different nationalities in upper management positions at Cisco. I have not seen that in other jobs that I have had. That is promising as a women of color myself." Read the Great Place to Work review.

Progressive Insurance

NEW

Employees say: "You are encouraged to be yourself and bring your whole, true self to work. I am allowed to be myself, be taken seriously and feel as a valued contributor." Read the Great Place to Work review.

Accenture

NEW

Employees say: "Diversity is embraced and a natural part of how we conduct business. Key word is "natural" because leadership encourages and expects it. It's ingrained in the way we operate. I am very proud of the level of integrity and ethics at which we operate." Read the Great Place to Work review. Clarification: The data below have been updated. Figures for "% of Boomers or older" and "% of LGBTQ" have been omitted, and "% of People with Disabilities" has been updated. Percentages previously listed for these categories were extrapolations based on Great Place to Work's Trust Index survey of a sample of Accenture's employees.

Synchrony

NEW

Employees say: "I can honestly say that Synchrony gives back more to the community and embraces diversity more than any other company I have worked for. I feel I am very welcome here and I feel the ELT do a great job of making others feel this way." Read the Great Place to Work review.
