What are America’s best places to work? In conjunction with Statista, Forbes decided to find out by surveying 45,000 individuals. The result was two lists, 500 companies each: Forbes’s 2023 Best Midsize Employers and Forbes’s 2023 Best Large Employers.
I wanted to know what toy and toy-related companies* were included. In doing my search, it became apparent that no toy companies were large enough to make the Large Employer list. As a result, I focused on the Midsize Employer list.
Kudos to Lego, Build-A-Bear, and Mattel for making the list. I have to say that when I ever see a list that values companies by by excellence, Lego is right near the top.
*A toy-related company is a retailer or wholesaler that carries toys. It can also be a media company that provides licensing opportunities.
