Where Are The Best Jobs?

Indeed.com, one of the Web’s largest job-search sites, just released its list of the best places to work in 2019. Adobe, Facebook, and Southwest Airlines took the top three spots. Overall, the top 10 was dominated by tech companies and airlines.

“Following Adobe, we see a few familiar names: social media giant Facebook and Southwest Airlines rank second and third, respectively, with Facebook placing in the top five for the third year running and Southwest Airlines placing in the top five for the fourth year in a row,” Indeed.com wrote in a blog post. “In addition to Southwest Airlines, we also see airlines Delta (#7) and JetBlue Airways (#15) on The Top 50 list for the fourth consecutive year.”

What do all the top workplaces share? All place a high priority on employee well-being, Indeed.com said. They relied on employee reviews of their workplaces to calculate the list and found workers at the top companies were very satisfied with how the company treated the work-life balance.

This is important because greater levels of employee happiness mean higher productivity and lower turnover rates.

“So what do all these different companies have in common? One recurring theme this year among employee reviews seems to be the importance of an enjoyable work environment — whether that environment is fun, supportive, true to its company values or all of the above,” Indeed.com wrote. “In fact, a positive work environment leads to more engaged workers, and more engaged workers create a 20% increase in productivity and are 90% more likely to stay with their current companies.”
