For the sixth year in a row, PEOPLE and Great Place to Work are honoring businesses that go above and beyond with Companies That Care.
Like last year, the expanded list now recognizes and honors 100 top companies for their employee benefits, commitment to social justice, green initiatives, COVID-19 relief efforts, outstanding care for customers and more.
Together with global workplace authority Great Place to Work, we surveyed companies across the U.S. to find those that best demonstrate outstanding respect, care and concern for their communities, employees and the environment. Rankings are based on more than 6.1 million employee experiences.
Target Corporation — the general merchandise retailer with more than 1,900 stores in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. — took over the No. 1 spot for investing up to $300 million more in increased pay and benefits in 2022.
In addition to ambitious sustainability efforts, Target stands out for its admirable commitment to increasing diversity, inclusion and equal representation across the company, having increased promotions for people of color by 62 percent and promotions of women to senior leadership positions by 16 percent.
Additionally, as the lingering effects of the pandemic continue to be felt, Target has given generously to nonprofits like Feeding America and global organizations like UNICEF.
