“Our mission is to help professionals everywhere pursue their lives with greater clarity, purpose, and passion—and that starts with us.

BetterUp has seen tremendous growth in 2020 as more companies look to support their teams through new ways of working and learning. In the past year, BetterUp doubled its customer base, adding notable names such as AB InBev to its roster of Fortune 1000 customers. In 2019, BetterUp secured $103 million in its Series C funding—believed to be the largest ever financing round in the burgeoning field of tech-enabled employee coaching, behavior change and wellness.
“For many years, organizations have put forth considerable effort towards attracting and retaining millennial talent,” said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “The Best Workplaces on this list have created cultures where its youngest employees experience not only an environment where they can grow professionally and personally, but also find a deeper sense of purpose in their work. As we prepare for a large influx of young professionals from Generation Z to enter the workforce for the first time, these organizations have distinguished themselves as the leaders in attracting and developing the leaders of tomorrow.”
