Most Loved Workplaces® Announces the 2025 Most Loved Workplaces for Women

Recognizing Leading Organizations that Champion Gender Equity and Empower Women Across the Workforce

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., March 27, 2025 — Most Loved Workplaces® today announced the release of its 2025 Most Loved Workplaces® for Women list, honoring organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to creating equitable, inclusive, and empowering environments where women can thrive.

The annual list highlights companies that go beyond standard diversity initiatives to actively promote leadership, advancement, and meaningful support for women at all levels of their organizations. These companies are recognized for cultivating workplace cultures that value inclusion, transparency, and professional growth.

“Being a Most Loved Workplace® for Women is about more than policies—it’s about building a culture where women are seen, heard, and empowered,” said Louis Carter, founder and CEO of Best Practice Institute and Most Loved Workplaces®. “These organizations are leading by example and demonstrating how to drive positive change through intentional action.”

Spotlight: Fenton Communications, Inc.

One standout on this year’s list is Fenton Communications, Inc., the first nationwide communications agency focused solely on social impact. Led by CEO Valarie De La Garza—the first woman and person of color to hold the role in the company’s 40-year history—Fenton has grown steadily while remaining committed to building a workplace centered on inclusion and equity.

The company supports its employees through active affinity groups, transparent communication from leadership, and a workplace culture grounded in respect and collaboration. Fenton’s approach reflects a genuine commitment to advancing gender equity across its organization.

Grounded in Research and Real Employee Sentiment

The rankings are derived from proprietary research conducted through the Love of Workplace Index™, which uses advanced sentiment analysis and employee feedback to measure how women experience their workplaces. The assessment evaluates key indicators including:

• • Access to leadership and advancement opportunities
• • Inclusion and equity in daily operations
• • Career development and mentorship support
• • Work-life integration and flexibility
• • Organizational culture and psychological safety

• Companies recognized on the list reflect a broad range of industries and organizational sizes, but all share a dedication to building workplaces where women are respected and supported to achieve long-term success.
