About the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Retail™ Award
The Best Workplaces in Retail list highlights organizations excelling in creating positive, inclusive, and engaging environments.
Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary Trust Index™ Survey to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.4 million employees.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Retail,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “In every industry, our research shows that investing in people drives productivity and higher revenues. When trust levels are high, people don’t just embrace the culture — they champion it.”
