Best Company Reviews by Employees: 5 Resources to Manage Employee Reviews

Every day, millions of people leave reviews to talk about their experiences working at an organization. And every day, job seekers from all over the world read those reviews to determine at which organizations they would want to work. 

While employee review sites are great for helping job seekers get a general understanding of the employee experience, many fail to meaningfully help underrepresented employees learn about the workplace experience for people like them. That’s why Fairygodboss was founded back in 2015 -- to help women learn about the best workplaces for women. And, it’s why we’re thrilled to launch our 5th annual Best Companies for Women list later this quarter! 

FGB’s Best Companies for Women awards recognize companies with the highest review scores on Fairygodboss. These resources below will help you leverage the best company reviews by employees to improve your employer brand, diversity candidate pipelines, and recruit top talent.
