American companies top list of world's best workplaces
The best places to work across the globe offer employees many things in common, and most important on that list to workers in the United States is a sense of community, according to a new survey.
For the first time, American multinational tech giant Cisco tops the annual list of the 25 World’s Best Workplaces, which was compiled by Great Place to Work and Fortune and based on a survey of 3.4 million employees across 90 countries.
