Hudson Valley Employer Makes Fortune’s 100 Best Companies List

PURCHASE, NY — A Hudson Valley company has been named to Fortune’s 100 Best Companies To Work For list.

Fortune’s list is based on a Great Place To Work survey that measures how employees feel about where they work, as well as the key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues and loyalty to the company.

In the Hudson Valley, MasterCard was included on the list.

"After dropping off the 2022 Best Companies to Work For list, the payments giant returns with a continued focus on employee career development as well as racial and socioeconomic equity," the magazine wrote.

In the confidential survey using a five-point scale, employees answered 60 questions about their organization’s culture. Two open-ended questions were also included.

Specifically, the questions dealt with whether leaders are accessible, communicate honestly and clearly, and if their actions match their words. Employees also weighed in on whether they feel respected as individuals, if they receive training benefits, appreciation, support for their well-being and opportunities to contribute.

The results are calculated across demographic groups and roles within each organization to assess how widely the employee experience is shared.

Employers are asked for feedback, answering six questions to suss out which have developed the most generous, caring and innovative programs to meet their employees’ diverse needs both at and away from work, as validated by the employee survey results.
