Conway, Ark., September 27, 2022 — Great Place to Work and Fortune magazine have honored Acxiom as one of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Women. This is Acxiom’s second time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at 29th place. Earning a spot means that Acxiom is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place to Work analyzed the survey responses of over 640,000 women who work for Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies that employ at least 50 women. Companies must also have least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and at least one executive who’s a woman. In the Great Place to Work survey, 98% of Acxiom’s women said the company is a great place to work. This number is 5% higher than the average U.S. company.
“We are humbled that our associates shared they feel valued and empowered,” said Mary Ward, Chief People Officer at Acxiom. “As a woman and a leader, I am proud to say that Acxiom is passionate about creating an environment where everyone can thrive and love their life and work. After all, diversity of thought and experiences helps us help our clients achieve their dreams.”
The Fortune Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. It’s the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly women say they’re treated at their workplace. Great Place to Work measures the differences in women’s survey responses with those of their peers and assesses the impact of demographics and roles on the quality and consistency of women’s experiences.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces for Women and their commitment to ensuring equity for women at every level of the organization,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “These companies showed up for women in new ways to help them cope with challenges they face wherever they are—both inside and outside of work. Women in these companies are seen, heard and valued.”
