Nearly all of Fortune’s 2024 100 Best Companies to Work For are committed to hybrid work

Good morning.

Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For is out this morning, and even if you aren’t looking for a new job, I would urge you to study it. Talent is the differentiator in today’s economy, and any company that wants to win ought to fight for a place on this list. (By the way, if you are looking for a job, these 100 companies have 207,761 positions open right now.)

When I joined Fortune a decade ago, companies like Google topped this list, and free food, nap pods, and volleyball pits were seen as the secret weapons. But today, it’s a different game. No. 1 on this year’s list is Hilton, which emphasizes diversity and career growth (as well as discounted stays at Hilton hotels). No. 2 is Cisco, which—as I wrote earlier this week—cultivates a family feel. No. 5 is Synchrony Financial, which has left its GE heritage behind and built a unique, employee-focused culture. “It’s pretty great here,” says employee Stephanie Polistena. “They really, truly care about us. It’s not like you’re a cog in a wheel.”

To be sure, pay still matters. Nvidia is No. 3 on the list because its employees have benefitted from its extraordinary success in recent years. And note that No. 4 is American Express, which has separated itself from its downtown New York neighbor Goldman Sachs by leaning into remote work. Indeed, a commitment to 'hybrid' has emerged as one of the distinguishing characteristics of great workplaces. Of the 100 companies on the 2024 list, only two say they require employees to be onsite four or more days per week.

You can find the full 2024 list online this morning here. Other news below
