The 16th annual “Best Places to Work in Los Angeles” awards celebration this year was hosted by the Los Angeles Business Journal as a virtual event on August 11th at 2pm.

As always, our annual list of 100 “Best Places to Work” companies comes from top local employers that participated in a detailed survey conducted 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 live event was also highlighted by an engaging panel of four experts – each from high-ranking best places to work companies from last year. In a spirited and informative discussion, the panelists shared how companies manage to build and maintain a strong company culture, how the needs of employees have changed, how mental health has become a priority and the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Our esteemed panelists are listed below along with some of their remarks from the event.
