Old Navy Named One of the 2018 Best Workplaces for Giving Back by Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE

Great Place to Work and FORTUNE have honored Old Navy as one of the 2018 Best Workplaces for Giving Back. The ranking considered more than 385,000 employee surveys from companies across the U.S. Great Place to Work, a research and consulting firm, evaluated more than 50 elements of team members’ experience on the job. These included employee pride in the organization’s community impact, belief that their work makes a difference, and feeling their work has special meaning. The ranking also accounted for how women, people of color, Baby Boomers and LGBT individuals experience giving back in the workplace. Old Navy was also named to the 2017 “Best Workplaces in Retail” and “Best Workplaces in Diversity” lists.
