outstanding employee sentiment and satisfaction
TAMPA
BAY, Fla., May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness
training and simulated phishing platform, today announced it has
been named to Newsweek's Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® list, and
ranked #85. This is the 2nd annual Top 100 Global Most Loved
Workplaces® list in collaboration with the Best Practice Institute
(BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company.
The results were determined after surveying more than 2 million
employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 30
to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that put
respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the center
of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty
and respect of the people who work for them.
"KnowBe4 is elated to be recognized as a most loved workplace
for the third consecutive year," said Ani
Banerjee, chief human resources officer, KnowBe4. "Our
award-winning corporate culture is a source of pride for the
organization, valuing transparency, inclusivity and fun. It is both
reassuring and encouraging to earn a spot on this workplace
recognition list based on direct employee feedback. We remain
committed to continuing to foster a most loved workplace for our
employees."
How positive workers feel about their future at the company,
career achievement, how much employer values align with employee
values, respect at all levels, and the level of collaboration at
the firm were the five critical areas measured to gauge employee
sentiment. In addition, areas such as inclusion, employee wellness,
diversity, career development, and company leadership were
identified and analyzed in relation to the five critical areas
measured.
"As workplaces continue to shift, it's clearer than ever that
fostering collaboration, embracing a positive outlook, and aligning
values are essential. The companies celebrated on the 2024 Global
Most Loved Workplaces® list truly embody these principles. They
show us that by championing respect and team oriented outcomes,
they're not just building great workplaces, they're shaping a
brighter future for all." - Nancy
Cooper, Global Editor in Chief of Newsweek.
"I started Most Loved Workplaces out of inspiration from my
community of people who consciously place love for their employees
at the center of their business model," said Louis Carter, the founder, and CEO of BPI and a
social/organizational psychologist, thought leader, entrepreneur,
and author.
Carter's book, "In Great Company: How to Spark Peak Performance
by Creating an Emotionally Connected Workplace," identifies the
specific areas needed to become a highly respected, reputable
organization where people love to work with each other – a Most
Loved Workplace.

Methodology
BPI measures five primary areas to determine how employees feel
about where they work to create the Most Loved Workplaces® list:
the level of collaboration at the workplace, how positive workers
are about their future at the company, how much employer values
align with employee values; respect at all levels and career
achievement. In consultation with Newsweek editors, BPI also
considered employee wellness, diversity, inclusion, career
advancement, and other workplace and talent development
initiatives.
To identify the top 100 companies ranked in this Newsweek
publication, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 50
percent of the initial score was based on direct employee responses
to BPI's proprietary Love of Workplace Index® assessment. Another
15 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings
from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed, and
Google. The final 35 percent came from BPI's direct interviews and
written responses from company officials. Newsweek then researched
every company on the list to determine the final list of 100
companies and their rankings.
