The Best Places to Work in Los Angeles 2025:
A Look at the Winners
The 19th annual “Best Places to Work in Los Angeles” awards celebration this year
was hosted by the Los Angeles Business Journal at the Biltmore Los Angeles on
Thursday, August 7th from 6:00PM to 8:30PM.
Our annual list of the “Best Places to Work” companies in three different company size groupings comes from top local employers that participated in a detailed survey conducted this year by Workforce Research Group. The survey ranks small, medium and large companies on subjects such as leadership, corporate culture, communications, and much more.
The event saluted companies that, according to the people who work for them, are the most successful in business and in nurturing their own.
The special event was made possible by Diamond Sponsors D.Law and Marsh McLennan Agency. Thanks also go out to the event’s contributing Platinum Sponsor Kaiser Permanente and Gold Sponsors Corgan, Cresa, Golden Star Technology, HNTB Corporation, Ideal Living, Live Nation, Morley Builders, PBS Engineers, The PENTA Building Group, Perkins Coie, Polsinelli and Whittier Trust Company.
The Best Places to Work in Los Angeles 2025:
How We Did It!
The Best Places to Work in Los Angeles is an annual celebration of elite employers who have proven that they know what it takes to create environments where people love to come to work. Identifying and recognizing these outstanding workplaces is a joint effort of The Los Angeles Business Journal and Workforce Research Group. The Best Places to Work in Los Angeles program was open to all publicly or privately held companies with at least 15 employees working in LA County. The workplace assessment and survey process was managed by Workforce Research Group, an independent workplace excellence research firm, managed the registration process, conducted the surveys, evaluated the data and ultimately chose the firms good enough to make the list.
Workforce Research Group was founded by Peter Burke, who after spending 17 years lead-ing Best Companies Group as its president and co-founder, decided to take advantage of an opportunity to take his nearly 20 years of experience managing “Best Places to Work,” “Best Employer” and “Best Companies” programs on a new adventure. In the summer of 2021, he launched Work-force Research Group where he and his team are taking recognizing great places to work to new levels of excellence through the creation of credible and relevant lists.
Employers are asked to fill out an in-depth questionnaire about their company, while employees are asked to take a survey. These elements allow Workforce Research Group to collect direct information and honest feedback about each workplace. They need both pieces to conduct a thorough analysis of the organizations and complete a professional assessment to determine which ones are best.
Workforce Research Group then takes all the data and uses it to produce company rankings, providing the full list and data to the Los Angeles Business Journal team, who create this special section you are reading now.
