Plenty of factors go into how happy you feel at work, whether it's the purpose of your job, how well you're paid or how much autonomy you feel over your day-to-day. Another big boost to your workplace happiness may be how well you get along with your colleagues.
At Workday, one employee review notes that "the most positive part of the company culture is the support, encouragement and genuine happiness for colleagues as we grow and develop and/or achieve wins." Coming in second is Topgolf, the sports complex chain, where one employee says their workplace happiness stems from "the interactions and fun I have with co-workers." At No. 3 Uber, one employee writes that "what make me happiest at work is the people."Overall, companies on this year's list had an average "happiness" score of 90 out of 100, according to Comparably, while the average happiness score for companies across the site comes in at 65.
Notably missing from the company list are many tech giants including Google, Meta and Microsoft, which continued their descent from previous years and fell off the top 100 happiest companies list in 2023. Amazon has also been absent for several years now.
