Forbes Ranks the World’s Best Employers for Women: Netflix, Apple and Coca-Cola in the Spotlight
Forbes has released its latest global ranking of the most women-friendly employers. The list is based on a survey of over 120,000 women employed in multinational corporations across 36 countries.
The evaluation included various factors such as salary levels, work-life balance, employee benefits, promotion opportunities, corporate culture, and gender equality. Experts also assessed the absence of discrimination, support programs for women, and the social reputation of each company.
The top 10 companies recognized for creating inclusive and supportive environments for women are:
Microsoft (USA, software)
Roche Holding (Switzerland, pharmaceuticals and biotech)
National Bank of Canada (Canada, finance)
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (USA, IT services)
IKEA (Netherlands, retail)
L’Oréal (France, beauty and cosmetics)
Deloitte (UK, consulting)
Nike (USA, apparel and sportswear)
Netflix (USA, media)
Apple (USA, electronics)
Although progress has been made in gender equality at work, the Deloitte Global Women @ Work 2025 report reveals that only 5% of 7,500 women surveyed in 15 countries expect to stay with their current employer for more than five years — highlighting the ongoing need for systemic change in workplace environments.
