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.”

companies representing more than 8.4 million U.S. employees at Great Place To Work Certified
organizations. Of those surveys, more than 1 million responses came from
