“Workers understand the direct impact of a workplace on their quality of life,” said U.S. News Vice President, Careers, Carly Chase. “The 2025-2026 list recognizes companies that received high scores on multiple metrics that make up a positive work environment and everyday employee experience.”
To calculate the annual U.S. News Best Companies to Work For list, U.S. News evaluated more than 5,000 publicly traded companies based on six key factors: quality of pay and benefits; work-life balance and flexibility; job and company stability; physical and psychological comfort; belonging and esteem; and career opportunities and professional development. The methodology combined data from multiple sources, including employee sentiment, regulatory and labor data, workforce analytics, and compensation benchmarks. Companies were ranked relative to their industry peers to ensure a fair comparison of workplace practices and employee experiences.
