This includes a culture that supports and challenges its employees, places trust and respect between management and staff, and a true commitment to meeting employees' financial, mental, physical, and emotional needs. Additionally, career growth opportunities, and a wonderful, cultured atmosphere are also key characteristics of an exceptional workplace."

It’s Experian’s fifth year on the list, and its steadfast pursuit to collect global information on everything from buying a home or car, to sending a child to college, to growing a business could explain it. The company offers its employees benefits in mental health, incentivizes volunteer work, and is working toward carbon neutrality by 2030. The company trained over 400 mental health aides, who can spot signs of mental illness, start supportive conversations, and encourage support. The company’s current aides have already invested over 1,400 hours into their roles. Experian is also invested in upping its number of women workers across the organization. Women workers at the executive committee and direct reports level increased from 26% to 30% this year, and from 32% to 40% at the senior leadership level. 

• In May of last year Experian ran its inaugural #WholeMe: Your Mind Matters campaign for Mental Health Awareness Month. Over 150 employees shared their mental health journeys and another 400 were trained as Mental Health First Aiders.


• To standardize its DEI initiatives, Experian launched its first-ever DEI Learning tool to all 20,000 employees to provide visibility into the company’s diversity objectives.


• Through fertility and family-building provider Kindbody, Experian introduced adoption and surrogacy benefits into employee health care plans.


• “I highly appreciate the focus on family flexibility,” said one Experian staffer. “I have a young child at home, and the company is always extremely understanding and encourages me to prioritize family issues when they occur.”
