Employees want more from their workplace — especially during a pandemic. Glassdoor rounded up their top 100 employers, celebrating those who boosted perks and benefits that have helped employees through this crisis. But even the best workplaces are struggling to maintain positive communications: a recent survey by Paychex found that more than half of managers believe their relationship with their employees has worsened during COVID-19.

Employee Benefit News has also extended the deadline to nominate a Rising Star until Friday, February 5. EBN’s annual Rising Star Awards has a new look this year to include candidates from the HR benefits space.

Employees want more than just a paycheck and health insurance. They are expecting employers to offer benefits that provide mental health resources, financial wellness and even support through their parental journey — from fertility to child care.

Through the pandemic many employers stepped up to offer employees expanded benefits and perks to help them get through the crisis. With this in mind, Glassdoor, a provider of resources with insights about jobs and companies, has announced its annual Best Places to Work awards for 2021. The winners are based on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback by completing a company review about their job, work environment and employer over the past year.
