Even in an uncertain economy, workers’ expectations have changed, and values matter to those looking to make a career move — whether that’s a new job, pivoting into a new industry or looking for a new role at their current organization. However, it can be a challenge to know where to start or how to take the first step.
Today, LinkedIn launched a new job search filter designed to make it easier for job seekers to discover opportunities that align with their values and what’s important to them as they grow their careers. The new filter identifies open positions at organizations committed to culture and values that professionals care about, such as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), career growth and learning, work-life balance, social impact and environmental sustainability.
Job seekers can also set up job alerts for these searches, which will notify them when a relevant role opens up so they can apply early.
Proof that this focus on values is permeating the world of work can be found among the 50 companies listed on this year’s LinkedIn Top Companies list. Many of this year’s honorees are committed to bettering the world, and the workplace, with a wide range of programs that demonstrate a commitment to values such as easing the strain on working parents, increasing diversity in hiring, achieving carbon neutrality, and more.
Top Companies uses unique LinkedIn data to rank companies based on eight pillars shown to lead to career progression — ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity, educational background and employee presence in the country.
The Top 5 Companies on LinkedIn’s 2023 List of Top Companies include:
- Mastercard
- TD
- Info-Tech Research Group
- Scotiabank
- Amazon
Methodology
LinkedIn’s methodology uses LinkedIn data to rank companies based on eight pillars that have been shown to lead to career progression: ability to advance; skills growth; company stability; external opportunity; company affinity; gender diversity; educational background and employee presence in the country. Ability to advance tracks employee promotions within a company and when they move to a new company, based on standardized job titles. Skills growth looks at how employees across the company are gaining skills while employed at the company, using standardized LinkedIn skills. Company stability tracks attrition over the past year, as well as the percentage of employees that stay at the company at least three years. External opportunity looks at Recruiter outreach across employees at the company, signaling demand for workers coming from these companies. Company affinity, which seeks to measure how supportive a company’s culture is, looks at connection volume on LinkedIn among employees, controlled for company size. Gender diversity measures gender parity within a company and its subsidiaries. Finally, educational background examines the variety of educational attainment among employees, from no degree up to Ph.D. levels, reflecting a commitment to recruiting a wide range of professionals. Finally, employee presence in the country looks at the company’s number of employees in the country relative to other companies, as a means of capturing companies that provide a diverse work environment and more opportunities for career advancement and networking.
To be eligible, companies must have had at least 500 employees as of Dec. 31, 2022 in the country and attrition can be no higher than 10% over the methodology time period, based on LinkedIn data. Similarly, companies with layoffs that amount to more than 10% of their workforce, based on public announcements between Jan. 1, 2022 and the list launch, are also ineligible. Only parent companies rank on the list; majority-owned subsidiaries and data about those subsidiaries are incorporated into the parent company score. The methodology time frame is Jan. 1, 2022 through Dec. 31, 2022. This analysis represents the world seen through the lens of LinkedIn data, drawn from the anonymized and aggregated profile information of LinkedIn’s members around the world.
LinkedIn exclude all staffing and recruiting firms, educational institutions and government agencies. LinkedIn also excludes LinkedIn, its parent company Microsoft and Microsoft subsidiaries.
