At least 17 of the best large U.S. workplaces are in the mutual fund or ETF business, at least according to a new list from the folks at a news magazine and a data specialist.

The teams at Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group have unveiled their 2023 list of America's Greatest Workplaces. The list includes 1,000 employers, all with at least 1,000 employees each and is based on a survey that gathered more than 389,000 company reviews. Those reviews (and the scoring) focused on employees' familiarity with their employers, how likely employees are to recommend their employers, plus evaluations in eight categories: "company image, corporate culture, working environment, work-life balance, training and career progression, compensation & benefits, sustainability awareness and proactive management of the diverse workforce." Employers were also screened by media monitoring of the past two years with help from Onclusive's Critical Mention.

In the U.S. asset management business, companies on the new list include: BlackRock, BNY Mellon, Capital Group (home of American Funds), Edward Jones (home of Bridge Builder Funds), Federated Hermes, Fidelity, the Hartford, J.P. Morgan, John Hancock, Nationwide, New York Life, Principal, Prudential (parent of PGIM), Raymond James, T. Rowe Price, Thrivent, and Voya.

"Companies benefit from creating great workplaces. Experts say employees who like their work are more productive, and these employers have lower turnover rates," writes Nancy Cooper, global editor-in-chief of Newsweek. "By staying at companies longer, loyal employees contribute to organizational stability and consistency. Ultimately, this enhances the bottom line."
