To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of over 640,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women, have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women and have at least one female C-suite executive.

“Being named one of the Fortune Best Workplaces for Women is an incredible honor, and I’m especially proud that this recognition reflects the voices and experiences of the women who help make Maxim who we are today,” said Jarrod DePriest, CEO and President of Maxim Healthcare. “We are fortunate to have exceptional women leading teams, caring for patients, supporting our caregivers and shaping the future of our organization every day. Their talent, leadership and commitment have strengthened our culture, enriched our workplace and shaped our company. This recognition belongs to them and reinforces our commitment to creating a workplace where women can build meaningful careers, grow professionally and lead at every level.”

The Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer consistently positive outcomes for women regardless of job role, work status, or any other demographic identifier.

“Companies that create great experiences for women are companies that create better experiences for every employee,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “When a company can show that anyone can build a career and do their life’s work, that company is more resilient. These companies are built for the future because they invest in the future of their people.”

“Congratulations to the companies recognized as Fortune Best Workplaces for Women,” says Fortune Executive Editor Ashley Lutz. “This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices and experiences of women themselves—and highlights the companies creating environments where they can grow, contribute, and do their best work.”

In 2026, Maxim also made the Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care™ List, which is highly competitive and awarded based on analysis of survey responses from nearly 222,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the health care industry. Additionally, Maxim was Certified™ by Great Place To Work® in the same year. This prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Maxim. 86% of employees said it’s a great place to work, compared to 57% of employees at an average U.S. company.
