Here’s a look at our annual Best Companies to Work for in Fort Worth, 40 companies that brought new definition to juggling in 2020. Our 40 were honored Thursday at the Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel.
Satori Capital ranked first among employers in the small/medium category of up to 250 employees. USI Insurance, which bought Fort Worth’s Forte Benefits, ranked first among large employers, those with 251 or more employees. Valliance Bank was platinum sponsor.
The magazine began this annual ranking in 2016. The contest is run and judged independently of the magazine’s ownership and staff by the Best Companies Group, a Pennsylvania research firm that’s behind more than 70 Best Places to Work programs worldwide and drills deep daily on what engages people in the workplace.
Companies and other organizations that enter our contest submit answers to Best Companies on questions ranging from employee benefits, to work from home and vacation policies, communication from the top, wellness initiatives, opportunities for advancement, training and mentorship, diversity, and fun stuff like office happy hours. Entering companies also agree to allow their employees to be surveyed anonymously by the Best Companies Group to drill down on how they perceive their employer.
Best Companies analyzes this information and produces our annual Best Companies to Work For in Fort Worth. Best Companies ranked employers in the small/medium and large company categories, with large companies having 251 employees or more.
Here are this year’s 40. Learn more about these companies and their workplace practices in the print issue of Fort Worth Inc.
