For the 22nd time, Edward Jones is named one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For by Great Place to Work and Fortune Magazine. Edward Jones took the No. 20 spot on the prestigious list.
Great Place to Work, a global people analytics and consulting firm, analyzed responses from over one half million employees at Great Place to Work-Certified organizations across the U.S.. The evaluation criteria included how trustworthy, caring, and fair the company is in times of crises; employees’ physical, emotional and financial health; and the company’s broader community impact.
Additionally, the evaluations included how employees’ experiences varied depending on their job role, gender, race/ethnicity, payroll status, and other characteristics to ensure that the company is creating a great workplace for all.
This year, 60% of each company’s score is based on confidential employee feedback. The remaining 40% is based on the programs each company said it created in support and in communities in response to the pandemic. This methodology represents a change in response to the unique circumstances of 2020.
The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work and Fortune Magazine based on employee feedback. Edward Jones ranked as a Best Workplace for Millennials, a Best Workplace for parents and a Best Workplace for women in 2020, and a Best Workplace in the financial services and insurance industry in 2021 by Great Place to Work and Fortune.
“These companies stood out for heroic efforts to care for their employees, their customers and our society, in a difficult year,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Remarkably, our research found that employee experience scores rose at these workplaces overall last year, a testament to the resilience of their inclusive, high-trust, cultures.”
