Written by RippleMatch | Dec 8, 2021 11:52:00 PM

We’re excited to announce our 2021 list of the top workplaces for Generation Z: ‘The Next Gen 100.’ We set out to create the Top 100 Next Gen Workplaces list to recognize organizations that are building standout workplaces for the next generation of talent—you.


The companies on this list are investing in the programs, benefits, and cultures that enable their employees to thrive both personally and professionally. They offer workplaces that you’ll actually enjoy being a part of.


To qualify as a Next Gen Workplace, companies had to show they were making an impact in four main areas—Learning & Development, Company Culture & Well-being, Financial Security and Benefits, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Learn more below.


Learning & Development

Next Gen Workplaces are committed to nurturing and growing the careers of their employees, and that includes entry-level talent. These companies offer robust early-career programs, structured mentorship opportunities, internal training, speaker series, and clear paths for upward mobility.


Company Culture & Well-being

Companies selected as Next Gen Workplaces are investing in cultures that are inclusive and supportive of all employees. These organizations often offer standout benefits that empower employees to bring their full selves to work such as mental health and flexible work options, in addition to fostering strong communities internally.


Financial Security and Benefits

Companies that qualify as Next Gen Workplaces understand the importance of financial security and competitive compensation. The organizations that made it into The Next Gen 100 offer standout financial benefits, such as 401(k) plans, employer-subsidized healthcare plans, financial planning, relocation assistance, and more.


Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Next Gen Workplaces are committed to moving the needle on D&I and are taking actionable steps to increase representation. The companies included are making long-term investments in D&I such as diversity-focused partnerships, building relationships with HBCUs & HSIs, leveraging technology, providing resources for ERGs, and having dedicated D&I team members.
