“Covid-19 is in the driver’s seat and every employer has been impacted, said Glassdoor boss Christian Sutherland-Wong.
“This year’s winning employers have proven, according to employees, that even during extraordinary times, they’ll rise to the challenge to support their people.
So, what makes an employer get such glowing reviews from its staff?
“A mission-driven culture, transparent leadership and career opportunities are always hallmarks of the best places to work winners,” Sutherland-Wong said.
