The 2025 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence awards are live, and we are excited to celebrate the winners. This year, there are 279 Compensation & Benefits award recipients. These 100% employee feedback-based awards signify excellence in company culture, specifically in the category of employee value proposition.

Why compensation & benefits matter more than ever

Today’s employees are smart. They know what they’re worth, and you probably do too. Here are a few reasons why you should care about employee compensation and benefits:

  • Our People Science team found that pay is the most cited reason employees leave organizations.
  • Limited funding for compensation and benefits is a major obstacle for retention. On the other hand, it’s also the number one tool employers use to improve retention.
  • Today’s current labor market and widespread inflation make it harder to ignore the importance of pay.
