According to a Gallup poll of college-educated Americans, more than 80% of respondents want meaningful work. Research shows that this meaningful work makes a positive impact — it not only fulfills what employees want, but employers find that it improves performance by 33%, and workers are 75% more committed to their employers. 

Meaningful work is important, but how can you find it? Here, we share nine top companies that you should consider joining if you are looking for an organization that you can feel good working at…
