The 2011 World's Best Multinational Workplaces

Great Place to Work® has been analyzing, understanding, selecting and publishing Best Workplaces lists around the world for more than 20 years. Since the initial publication of The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America, by Milton Moskowitz and Great Place to Work® co-founder Robert Levering, we have grown from doing our work in the United States to the entire world. Today there are Best Companies lists in 45 countries served by 38 offices on six continents.

Out of 350 potential multinational best companies list makers, we recognize the top 25 in this first 2011 World’s Best Multinational Workplaces list. These 25 companies demonstrate the power of cultural consistency.

A Focus on Trust

This is about far more than spreading any particular company’s culture. It is about spreading a culture of success that promulgates trust-based relationships. These companies’ executives and managers are the heroes because their leadership of great workplaces generates positive business results.

These companies are shining examples of how to build solid businesses based on trust, pride and camaraderie. Let’s not only celebrate their accomplishments, but also disseminate the message: to create a better society.
