Largest-Ever Study of Working Parents
Great Place To Work determined the Best Workplaces for Parents by gathering and analyzing confidential employee experience feedback from 430,000 parents across 1,244 U.S.-headquartered companies that employ more than 4.8 million Americans – the largest study of working parents to date.
“These organizations are excelling in doing right by their working parents and parents-to-be,” said Great Place To Work CEO Michael C. Bush. “One of my favorite findings from this research is that when companies are great for parents and aspiring parents, they tend to be great for everyone else as well.”

About the Best Workplaces for Parents
Employees reported their workplace experience using the industry-leading Trust Index© survey. The survey is proven to quantify over 75 metrics of company culture, including levels of trust, pride, management effectiveness, innovation, diversity and equity. All Trust Index survey results were representative of their entire workforce and accurate to a 95% confidence level with a 5% margin of error or better.
Great Place To Work then selected the Best Workplaces for Parents from this dataset using its For All™ methodology. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation was based on parents’ scores of trust and fairness. The remaining 15% was based on how parenting status influenced other aspects of employees’ work experience, as well as their experience of the company’s leadership effectiveness, meaningful values, and innovation.
Great Place To Work’s analysis also focused on how parents’ workplace experiences compare to those of their non-parent colleagues and determining whether their job level, race/ethnicity or any other personal characteristic changed the level of support they received as a working parent. Finally, Great Place To Work reviewed each company’s parental leave, adoption, flexible schedule, childcare and dependent healthcare benefits.
