The Top Companies are investing in employee success, career development, and equity and inclusion to ensure they continue to be among the best workplaces for employee growth now, and in a post-pandemic world. "The past year has presented extraordinary challenges, and the best companies have realized that they have to put their employees first," said LinkedIn Editor-in-Chief Daniel Roth. "Our new Top Companies methodology allowed us to surface the companies who are investing in employee skills and growth - whether through training, advancement opportunities or connections - as we all navigate the new normal. And for those who are out of work or looking for their next job, all of the companies on this list are hiring, with more than 300,000 open roles and plenty of lessons about the skills they're investing in to help you guide your own career."

LinkedIn Top Companies Methodology Top Companies is part of the LinkedIn List franchise, an ongoing editorial series that celebrates professionals and companies making an impact in the professional world. The Top Companies methodology uses LinkedIn data to rank companies based on seven pillars that have been shown to lead to career progression: ability to advance; skills growth; company stability; external opportunity; company affinity; gender diversity and educational background. A detailed description of the methodology is published within the LinkedIn Top Companies article. This year LinkedIn is publishing Top Companies lists in APAC (Australia, China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan), EMEA (France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), LATAM (Brazil, Mexico) and NAMER (Canada, U.S.). To be eligible, companies must have at least 500 employees as of Dec. 31, 2020 in the country and reductions in staff (including attrition and layoffs) can be no higher than 10% (based on LinkedIn data or public announcements). Only parent companies rank on the list; majority-owned subsidiaries and data about those subsidiaries are incorporated into the parent company score. All data counts are normalized based on company size across the pool of companies eligible for the list. The methodology time frame is Jan. 1, 2020 through Dec. 31, 2020. All of the data used is aggregated and/or de-identified. We exclude all staffing and recruiting firms, educational institutions and government agencies. We also exclude LinkedIn, its parent company Microsoft and Microsoft subsidiaries. About LinkedIn LinkedIn connects the world's professionals to make them more productive and successful, and transforms the way companies hire, market, sell, and learn.
