New York – In a significant recognition for workplace equality, a recent study conducted by Forbes and Statista has highlighted over 70 companies based in New York as some of the best employers for women in the United States. This prestigious recognition comes in part from the “2025 Best Employers for Women” list, which names a total of 700 companies nationwide based on their performance in various critical areas, including pay equity and opportunities for advancement.
The data for the study gathered responses from more than 140,000 women employed by U.S. companies with a workforce of at least 1,000. Participants provided insights about their current and previous employers through recommendations and evaluations. This extensive survey spanned three years, with emphasis placed on recent data, allowing for a clearer understanding of the current workplace environment as experienced by employees.
Among the New York companies featured prominently on the list is Genpact, a global professional services firm recognized for its commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace. Notably, Genpact has been honored as one of America’s Best Employers for Women for three consecutive years. This accolade reflects its emphasis on creating a culture where women feel supported and valued. Furthermore, the company’s leadership recognizes the importance of representation, noting that having women in leadership roles positively impacts all employees.
Another company making the list is Cushman & Wakefield, a leading real estate services firm known for establishing an empowering environment for employees. Their policies are geared towards enhancing employee experiences and inclusivity throughout their organizational culture. Similarly, Ipsos, a global market research firm, has garnered attention for its focus on equitable workplace practices. Ipsos has earned accolades for two consecutive years on Forbes’ list, underscoring its commitment to gender equality initiatives, which includes mentorship programs and efforts to eliminate gender bias in advertising.
To compile the list, Forbes evaluated companies based on several factors. Key criteria included workplace environment, availability and structure of parental leave, adherence to pay equity practices, and the representation of women in leadership roles. The findings align with a broader movement across multiple industries, aiming to cultivate equitable and inclusive workplace cultures. The high-ranking companies understand that when women are well-represented and supported, it benefits not only the individual employees but also the organization as a whole.
This recognition of over 70 New York-based employers reflects a significant commitment to enhancing gender equity in professional settings. As more companies strive to improve their workplace policies and strengthen their culture, this list serves as a benchmark for best practices in supporting women’s career advancement and equality in the workforce.
As the workplace landscape continues to evolve, efforts to foster inclusivity and provide equitable opportunities for women remain crucial. Organizations that lead the charge in these areas will not only attract and retain top talent but also build a reputation that resonates positively in the broader community. By prioritizing the experiences of women in the workplace, these recognized companies set an example for others to follow, signaling a shift towards a more just and inclusive corporate culture.
