29 Connecticut Companies Named to Newsweek’s Greatest Workplaces 2024 List

Twenty-nine Connecticut companies, in more than a dozen industries, have earned a place on Newsweek magazine’s second annual list of the “greatest workplaces” in the U.S.

Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group released the latest list noting that the companies featured “show that, even in the face of waning enthusiasm among much of the workforce, it is still possible to create a great environment that facilitates engagement.”

The survey that established the list covered topics like compensation and benefits, training and career progression, work-life balance and company culture, according to Newsweek. Also, post-survey desk research considered each company's online mentions, diversity and inclusion ratings, and reviews of senior management.

Newsweek Global Editor in Chief Nancy Cooper observed that “the highly-regarded companies ranked here likely enjoy stronger client relationships and higher retention rates, because better workplaces benefit everyone.”

Six Connecticut companies were among the small-size businesses earning a spot on the Newsweek list; along with 11 mid-size companies and 12 large-size companies. (industry in parentheses; companies listed alphabetically within each category)
