ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. Celebrates Comparably's 2026 Awards for Workplace Excellence

In an increasingly competitive job market, the demand for companies that prioritize their employees' well-being and career growth has become paramount. Jon Bischke, General Manager of ZoomInfo Talent Solutions, emphasized the evolving expectations of job seekers, stating, "Job seekers aren't just looking for a paycheck; they want to work somewhere with a bright future and everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive." This sentiment underscores the importance of the awards, which are based on anonymous employee feedback collected over the past year.

Calix made headlines by claiming the top spot for Best Company Outlook among large companies in 2026, a remarkable leap from its #18 ranking in 2025. This dramatic rise reflects a surge in employee confidence regarding the company’s future. Following Calix were Elsevier at #2, TP at #3, GE Vernova at #4, and ADP rounding out the top five.

In the category of Best Companies for Women, ADP maintained its dominance, retaining the #1 position it earned in 2025. This consistent ranking solidifies ADP's reputation as a benchmark for female employees seeking equitable workplaces. Elsevier, Workday, Microsoft, and NUCOR CORPORATION completed the top five rankings in this category, showcasing a strong commitment to female empowerment across industries.

Elsevier continued to set the standard for inclusivity, securing the #1 spot for Best Companies for Diversity for the second consecutive year. The company has been recognized for its efforts to create an inclusive environment for employees of color. Adobe, Nvidia, Baylor Scott & White Health, and ADP followed in the rankings, highlighting the growing emphasis on diversity and representation within corporate structures.
