    What this list recognizes

    • Global scale (multi-country footprint)
    • Top-quartile SPARK scores across all five drivers
    • Independently verified employee sentiment

    Why it matters

    The Top 100 Global is the most-cited Most Loved Workplace® list in earned media — featured in the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Bloomberg, and CNBC.

    How companies qualify

    One framework. Every list.

    Every Most Loved Workplace® list — including the Top 100 Global list — is built from the Love of Workplace Index® (LOWI®). A minimum of 33% of employees (or 1,000 for companies with 3,000+ headcount) completes the Pulse Validation. BPI's machine-learning comment analysis surfaces cohort-specific patterns, and certified peers form the benchmark.
