New York City has unveiled its 2025 Best Places to Work ranking, spotlighting 81 companies that exemplify employee satisfaction and workplace innovation. In a competitive market like New York, success is increasingly defined not only by financial metrics but also by the ability to attract and retain top talent. The businesses recognized in the ranking demonstrate that a strong investment in employee experience significantly contributes to their long-term performance and growth.
The ranking, conducted in partnership with Workforce Research Group, reveals key attributes of workplaces in New York City, highlighting culture, recognition, opportunity, and innovation as essential factors for organizational success. Approximately 145,000 employee responses were compiled through a rigorous engagement survey to determine the standings. This survey forms the backbone of the ranking, contributing 80% of the final score, while an employer questionnaire accounts for 20%. The employer questionnaire evaluates aspects such as paid time off (PTO), benefits packages, training opportunities, and diversity initiatives.
Among the top firms honored in the 2025 evaluation is Ryan LLC, which provides resources like tuition reimbursement and wellness options while also encouraging paid volunteer days. Ciba Health has garnered praise for its comprehensive focus on chronic condition treatment, offering generous holiday time along with mental health wellness programs. Legal powerhouse Sheppard Mullin takes pride in fostering professional development and community engagement among its employees.
Other notable companies include Shawmut Design and Construction, recognized for its commitment to employee ownership and career development, and SEI – New York LLC, a smaller firm that prioritizes flexibility and organized social events to enhance employee engagement. Berkowitz Pollack Brant stands out for its provision of 22 days of PTO and support for professional development alongside a strong community involvement strategy.
Furthermore, Clune Construction encourages team bonding through structured gatherings such as Supper Clubs and actively implements DEI initiatives to boost retention. UHY Advisors Northeast is acknowledged for its flexible work arrangements and vibrant office culture, while Perkins Coie rewards employee achievements through awards and offers diverse wellness and community service opportunities. Radar, a tech company on a rapid growth trajectory, also makes the list by establishing a connected culture that celebrates employee successes through social events.
The process to achieve such prestigious recognition involves adherence to strict criteria for employee engagement surveys, ensuring that the feedback collected accurately reflects the work environment. To qualify for the Fortune Best Workplaces in New York list, companies must also be Great Place To Work Certified and employ at least ten individuals. This comprehensive review process serves to illuminate the best practices that drive remarkable workplace experiences in New York’s dynamic business landscape.
This year’s rankings not only reflect New York’s ambitious and diverse ethos but also serve as a guide for other organizations aiming to enhance their workplace cultures.
