An average of 98% said they had a positive work environment, 96% said they had clear company goals that they were interested in, and 92% said they feel excited about going to work each day. The list and key findings are based on the ratings from anonymous employees that were pooled starting September 17 last year until September 17 this year.
"In our annual analysis of where the happiest employees are, Comparably looks at a combination of metrics that contribute to happiness at work, from fair pay, benefits and clear goals to excitement for the company and the work itself," said Comparably chief Jason Nazar. "Despite the challenges of the past year-and-a-half, the top-rated companies on the list succeed at meeting the needs of their workers across these important factors," he added.
