Fortune Media and Great Place To Work Name Encore to ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ in 2025

Encore, a global leader in event production, is proud to announce it has been named as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For^® by Fortune magazine and Great Place To Work^®. This is the first time Encore has been named to this prestigious list, and it follows three straight years of Encore being certified as a Great Place To Work, which included all 11 eligible countries last year.

The 100 Best Companies to Work For list honors companies that build a high-trust workplace environment, measured through Great Place To Work’s proprietary survey platform. Confidential feedback from more than 1.3 million team members in the U.S. is matched against HR data from participating companies. Only companies with consistently high survey responses across the 60 statements that comprise the Trust Index™ Survey are honored with placement on the list. The survey measures key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company.

Encore also took part in a culture audit, which explored its team member value proposition, the impact of its nine Business Resource Groups, career development and certification programs, internal recognition and rewards platforms, and core values.

“Being named to this year’s Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list is a significant milestone for Encore and an incredible testament to the culture built by our 12,000 team members across the globe,” said Ben Erwin, President & CEO. “At the same time, we all recognize that this is just a point on our journey towards excellence for our customers, venue partners and our team members.”

The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list is highly competitive. Companies are only considered for the list if they are a Great Place to Work Certified™ organization with 1,000 or more team members in the U.S. Companies are assessed on their ability to create a great team member experience that cuts across job level, business unit, race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of team member identity.

Earning a spot on the list is an important indicator of overall company performance. Companies on the 100 Best list consistently outperform the market and exceed their competitors on key business measures like retention and innovation.

“Leaders are the reason a business succeeds or fails,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “In the more than 30 years we’ve studied the workplace, our data prove that how you treat people shows up in your financial performance.”

This year’s list of winners offers compelling insights into the workforce strategies needed to thrive in the AI era.

“Fortune is happy to have collaborated with Great Place To Work for the 28th year to recognize the 100 Best Companies to Work For,” says Alyson Shontel, editor-in-chief of Fortune. “In a difficult macro environment with unprecedented challenges, these companies seemed to navigate their organizations toward steady and positive working environments for team members. Congratulations to all who were recognized.”
