Virtual Vocations - 50 Remote Enabled Company Culture Leaders

50 Remote Enabled Company Culture Leaders

Which businesses and organizations not only hire for remote jobs but also value company culture? Virtual Vocations analyzed Comparably’s “Best Company Culture 2021” award winners to determine the top remote enabled company culture leaders that hire for fully remote jobs. In this report, we name the 50 best large and small/mid-size companies that prioritize both positive company culture and flexible, home-based employment.


What Is Company Culture?

Company culture relates to the behaviors and attitudes within a workplace; it is the shared ethos of an organization. The way employees feel about their work, how things get done, and the values upheld by employees and employers are all part of company culture.

The Importance of Company Culture and Values to Jobseeker Decisions

Although it would be easy to assume a high-paying salary tops the list of employee desires, a Glassdoor survey netted surprising results: a business’s culture and mission matter more than salary. In fact, the majority of adults value company culture above salary, but more so among millennials and younger workers. Take a look at these company culture statistics from Glassdoor.

COMPANY CULTURE MATTERS
“Over 77% of adults across four countries (the United States, UK, France, Germany) would consider a company’s culture before applying to a job there…”

“79% would consider a company’s mission and purpose before applying.”

COMPANY VALUES MATTER
“73% of all adults surveyed would not apply to a company unless its values aligned with their own personal values.”

5 Positive Company Culture Contributions for Remote Workers

Workers are most likely to be satisfied with their jobs when their values align with their employer’s values. And if a company’s culture is a good fit, workers are more likely to develop better relationships and be more productive. The benefits of positive company culture don’t stop there for remote workers. An environment of positive company culture also reduces loneliness and isolation among distributed team members and sets the tone for telework collaboration and work ethic.

Here are five ways remote workers can take proactive steps to contribute to positive company culture within their remote workplaces:

  • Participate in virtual team building.
  • Mentor new team members.
  • Respect cultural and time zone differences.
  • Give credit and praise coworker achievements.
  • Be a transparent, timely, and trustworthy communicator.

The Comparably “Best Company Culture 2021” List

Comparably is a workplace culture and corporate brand reputation platform that contains more than 15 million anonymous employee ratings of 70,000 companies. Data comprehensively covers compensation as well as company culture data. Its “Best Company Culture 2021″ list is based on sentiment ratings submitted by current employees who, from November 26, 2020 through November 26, 2021, anonymously rated their companies across 16 core workplace culture criteria.

Two ranked lists emerged from Comparably’s company culture analysis: the Top 100 Large Companies and the Top 100 Small/Mid-Size Companies. Large companies have more than 500 employees and small/mid-size companies have 500 employees or fewer.

Ranking Remote Enabled Company Culture Leaders

We compared Comparably’s most recent list against our Remote Companies Database to determine which of these best-of company culture employers are also remote enabled and regularly hire for remote jobs.

“At Virtual Vocations, we encourage value-based remote job searches. In fact, jobseekers have reported to us that poor company culture is one of the top workplace confidence killers. Comparably’s “Best Company Culture 2021” report is an important resource for any jobseeker who wants to feel confident and experience their values reflected at work, so we were curious about which of these best-of company culture employers are also remote enabled.

Across large and small/mid-size companies, 50 businesses stood out as remote enabled companies known for hiring telecommuters. Our “50 Remote Enabled Company Culture Leaders” report outlines these companies and connects jobseekers to any available fully remote openings with those businesses.”
