IPC Systems named to Newsweek’s list of the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces For 2023

New York, NY (October 4, 2023) Newsweek today announced their annual rankings for the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® list, and IPC was ranked #86. The 2023 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® are the result of a collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company. The results were determined after surveying more than 2 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 100,000. The list recognizes companies that have created a workplace where employees feel respected, inspired, and appreciated and are at the center of the business model.  

The key areas included in the analysis are based on how well companies demonstrate the areas within the Spark Model as defined by BPI. Employee sentiments and emotions indicating how engaged employees are, how positive they feel about their workplace, and how committed they are to the organization’s success were analyzed to identify the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces.  

“Inclusion in Newsweek’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® for 2023 is a testament to IPC’s unwavering commitment to our employees’, comments Meeghan Salcedo, Chief People Officer, IPC Systems. We have cultivated a workplace where respect, inspiration, and values are at the forefront. Our journey, guided by the Spark Model, centers on Systemic Collaboration, a Positive Vision of the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Achievement. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Newsweek and the Best Practice Institute for this honor, and we remain resolutely committed to investing in our employees, celebrating their achievements and solidifying our position as a ‘Most Loved Workplace.” 

“With the rapidly changing workplace and competition for top talent, more companies are recognizing the importance of employee engagement and commitment”, said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek. “The workplaces that have demonstrated a commitment to their employees in 2023 are more likely to attract the best talent and deliver strong business outcomes.”  

“Fully understanding and acting upon employee sentiment, emotion, and recommendations continues to be a challenge and top priority of executive leadership,” said Louis Carter, CEO of Best Practice Institute. “The companies on this list have committed to listening carefully to their employees to create a workplace employees love.”

Methodology 

To identify the top 100 companies for the Newsweek ranking, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 35 percent of the initial score was based on employee survey responses; 25 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google; and 40 percent came from direct interviews with and written responses from company officials. Newsweek then conducted additional research into every company on the list, as well as the top runners up, to determine the final list of 100 companies and their ranking. (The list includes both U.S. firms and companies with a strong U.S. presence that are based overseas.)
