9 Connecticut Companies Named Among America's Greatest Workplaces 2023

CONNECTICUT — Nine companies headquartered in Connecticut were recently named to the America’s Greatest Workplaces 2023 rankings released by Newsweek and its data partner, Plant-A Insights Group.

Newsweek used a 5-star rating system to rank companies. The rating is based on a national survey on benefits, workplace environment, career development, empowerment of women, promotion of veterans, development of entry-level employees and support for LGBTQ+ employees.

Companies headquartered in Connecticut that made the ranking are:

Berkley Insurance, Greenwich, Insurance Services and Insurance Underwriting, 5 stars

Bob's Discount Furniture, Manchester, Home and Electronics Retail, 4 stars

CIGNA, Bloomfield, Insurance Services and Insurance Underwriting, 4.5 stars

Eversource, Hartford, Utilities / Packaging and Containers, 4 stars

ISG, Stamford, Advertising and Marketing, 5 stars

Stanley Black & Decker, New Britain, Consumer Products / Consumer Products Distributors / Food and Beverage Producers, 4 stars

Synchrony, Stamford, Banks / Consumer Finance, 5 stars

The Hartford, Hartford, Insurance Services and Insurance Underwriting, 5 stars

US Electrical Services, Middletown, Logistics Services / Freight Transportation / Passenger Transportation / Industrial Distributors, 4.5 stars

To develop the ranking, Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group surveyed companies employing at least 1,000 people about their employment experience and also consulted more than 389,000 company reviews.

The companies that made the final ranking share common values such as competitive salaries and benefits, equity and diversity, and a workplace culture that is open to new ideas, Newsweek said. Additionally, the companies provide comfortable working environments while encouraging career development and work-life balance.

Companies that create “great workplaces” benefit from increased productivity and lower turnover rates that contribute to stability while employees benefit from better physical and mental health, the magazine said. Those employees tend to take fewer sick days, are less likely to experience burnout, and provide excellent service to their customers and colleagues.
