The employers are placed into one of four groups: small, with 50 to 99 employees; medium, with 100 to 249 workers; large, with 250 to 999; and largest, with 1,000 or more.

“The workplace is undergoing a once-in-a-lifetime transformation, and the companies that embraced that change, and put their employees’ needs first, really stood out,” said Katie Johnston, The Boston Globe’s “Top Places to Work” editor.

The rankings in “Top Places to Work” are based on confidential survey information collected by Energage (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from more than 80,000 individuals at 363 Massachusetts organizations.

“We strive to be the best place to work for people who share our passion, and to promote personal development, inclusion and diversity. This recognition is a great testament to the energy and commitment our employees bring to work every day with the single focus to be at our best for customers, patients and consumers,” said Richard Kranz, Head of HR at Philips North America. “Together, we are living our purpose of improving people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation as we aim to improve 2.5 billion lives per year by 2030, including 400 million in underserved communities.”
