The annual list is based on independent analysis and direct feedback from employees at hundreds of organizations surveyed by Great Place to Work®.

Paquette, Brane’s Vice President of People and Culture. “While we’re proud of those efforts, we know our work is far from done. We need to always stay focused on building trust and respect in our workplace, and lead the way in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
