Red Ventures Achieves Top “Platinum” Rating on Inaugural 2026 Where You Work Matters List

One of only 350 U.S. employers to receive the highest overall distinction for career mobility and worker outcomes.

CHARLOTTE, NC (March 24, 2026) - Red Ventures has earned a Platinum badge, the highest overall honor, on the first-ever Where You Work Matters™ list released today at 6 AM ET. The national rating identifies the top-performing U.S. employers that successfully enable workers to build careers, increase their earnings, and advance within their organizations.

Assembled by the Schultz Family Foundation and the Burning Glass Institute in partnership with Harvard Business School, the Where You Work Matters List is a groundbreaking, independent assessment of 1,750 major U.S. employers. Unlike other recognitions based on corporate surveys, this list is powered by an empirical analysis of real-world outcomes for more than 12 million American workers, measuring how they actually fare in terms of pay, promotion, and retention.

In Good Company

Red Ventures is among a select group of 350 companies to receive the Platinum overall recognition. By achieving this status, Red Ventures joins the ranks of other industry leaders recognized for exceptional workforce outcomes, including McKinsey, Truist, Deloitte, Boeing, Fidelity Investments, General Motors, HubSpot, Lockheed Martin, and Procter & Gamble.

Measuring What Matters

The assessment provides a role-by-role look at how companies create opportunity. Red Ventures was recognized for its performance in key areas that define a high-quality career path:

• Early-career mobility: Creating entry-level pathways that provide essential skills for advancement.

• Internal Growth: Developing leaders from within and providing clear upward trajectories.

• Economic Stability: Offering leading pay and maintaining strong employee retention.

"The Where You Work Matters List provides essential new transparency about how well major American employers enable workers to advance in their careers," said Rajiv Chandrasekaran, managing director of the Schultz Family Foundation. "It allows employers to celebrate their successes and identify how they can better serve their workers across their entire organization."

The Where You Work Matters List is a non-profit, public-interest initiative and does not rely on corporate disclosures or pay-for-play participation. To view the full 2026 rankings and methodology, visitwww.whereyouworkmatters.org.
