Announcing the 2025 Fortune Best Small and Medium Workplaces
Companies earned recognition by building trust across their workforce, as measured on the Great Place To Work Trust Index
Oakland, Calif., Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Great Place To Work® and Fortune have revealed the 2025 Fortune Best Small Workplaces™ and Fortune Best Medium Workplaces™ lists.
Companies make these lists by outperforming their peers, building high levels of trust that drive higher levels of productivity, engagement, and business performance.
“Small- and medium-sized businesses can compete with anyone for talent when they build an irresistible culture,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies make the most of their strategic advantages as smaller organizations, ensuring every employee feels recognized for their contributions and rewarded with their fair share of the benefits of success.”
For companies that made the list, nine in 10 employees said they wanted to stay with the company long-term, compared to just two-thirds of employees at a typical workplace of a similar size. Winning companies also had more employees who reported giving extra effort on the job — 98% for small and 95% for medium-sized companies, compared to 60% and 62% for typical workplaces of the same sizes.
Both lists are highly competitive and based on validated annual survey data from over 1.3 million U.S. employees. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of employees’ experiences. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer a positive employee experience regardless of job, role, work status, or other demographic identifier.
Companies with 10 to 99 U.S. employees that earn Great Place To Work Certification™ are eligible for the Best Small Workplaces. Certified companies with 100 to 999 employees compete for the Best Medium Workplaces list.
