Oakland, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Only 51% of employees are excited to use AI to improve their work and even less (45%) believe their company will use AI in a way that benefits them.

It’s a challenge that companies on the Fortune World’s Best Workplaces List™ are already solving, with these 25 companies outperforming the typical workplace on key drivers of confidence in leadership.

When employees say they have a lot of meaningful opportunities to innovate, they are three times more likely to be excited to use AI.
Great Place To Work identified key employee experiences that increase the odds that employees also report having confidence in company leadership. Companies on the list outperformed the typical workplace on every measure. For example, less than half of employees at a typical workplace said promotions were fairly awarded compatred to three in four employees at the World’s Best.
“As global companies, these employers have an incredible impact on our world,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “We are proud to recognize these companies for their dedication to creating better workplaces for every employee — and by extension, making the world a better place for all of us.”
“This global list followed a rigorous process, one that assures that employees have spoken about what they think are exceptional workplaces where they feel trusted, empowered, and energized to do their best work,” says Alyson Shontel, editor-in-chief of Fortune.
