3 September 2025

Forbes has released its annual list of top employers, highlighting the Connecticut companies where employees are happiest and most engaged. The rankings are based on surveys of over 169,000 workers nationwide, focusing on factors such as pay, growth opportunities, workplace culture, diversity, and how well employers address employee concerns.

Leading the way in Connecticut is Edgewell Personal Care, headquartered in Shelton. The company — known for brands like Schick and Banana Boat — earned the #1 spot among CT employers thanks to its strong benefits, supportive culture, and reputation for career development.


Other highly rated employers across the state reflect a wide range of industries, from healthcare and education to manufacturing and professional services. These organizations stood out for their ability to retain talent, invest in employees, and maintain positive workplace environments despite the challenges of today’s economy.


For job seekers, the list offers insight into which employers are most committed to their people. For current employees, it’s a sign that their workplace values matter — and that Forbes is shining a light on companies getting it right.
