Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have selected Cognosante as one of the 2023 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™ List. This is Cognosante’s first time being named to this prestigious list, coming in at No. 78. Earning a spot means Cognosante is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of over 600,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women, and have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women and at least one woman executive.
“We are delighted to be included on the Best Workplaces for Women List,” said Chief Administration Officer Jennifer Bailey. “As companies continue to recognize inclusion and equity as critical to retention, we are proud women fill over 50% of roles across all levels of our organization. We have seen this greater equity drive diversity of thought, deeper engagement, and increased productivity. Our inclusion in the Best Workplaces for Women List demonstrates that our investments in workplace culture are translating into meaningful employee experiences.”
The Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary For All™ Methodology to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, with over 1.3 million survey responses received this year, representing the experiences of more than 7.5 million employees.

Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for women regardless of job role, race, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier. Great Place To Work analyzed the gender balance of each workplace compared with Bureau of Labor Statistics industry data. Companies are also assessed on how representation changes as women rise from front-line positions to the board of directors.
“In a challenging market, companies can’t afford to leave workers on the sidelines,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “When women feel empowered to be full participants in the workplace, productivity and profit grows, insulating the organization from external pressure. We celebrate these companies who are committed to closing the gender gap, developing the next generation of women leaders to solve the complex problems we all face.”
“Fortune congratulates the companies that made the cut for the Best Workplaces for Women,” says Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. “Based on survey responses of so many women nationwide, these companies clearly demonstrate they have created workplaces where women are consistently valued, supported, and encouraged to do their best work.”
Cognosante has been named a Great Place to Work certified company for each of the past four years.
