The Happiest Companies to Work For in 2015

If you are looking to switch jobs you might be interested in checking out this list of the happiest companies to work for in 2015.

Compiled by American company CareerBliss the list consists of thousands of employee submitted reviews from 2013-2014. The reviews asked employees to rank their employer based on a set of unique metrics which included; work-life balance, relationship with boss and co-workers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture and reputation, daily tasks, and job control over daily work. The data also shows how much the employee values each factor.

Each review was given an average score indicating where the company places out of a maximum of five. According to the statistics the company Johnson & Johnson is the best to work for. This was followed by Broadcom, Chevron and Texas Instruments. With the average salary at the top company being $70,000 and a bliss score of 3.523 out of five, employees are raving about their positions there.

This is the fifth annual CareerBliss 50 Happiest Companies in America awards list. CareerBliss CEO and Chief Happiness Officer Heidi Golledge says: “Each year, CareerBliss evaluates the companies dedicated to creating happier work environments. This year we saw a surge of STEM-related companies (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) ranking in the top 10. As we evaluate the factors that impact happiness such as growth opportunity and company culture, it is also important to understand what type of industries are creating happier work environments overall.”

While the list is American based there are plenty of jobs available in Canada with many of these companies as the international borders have been blurred over the years. In 2014 Pfizer was in the number one position and this year it didn’t even crack the top 50. Moving up the list was Google, climbing from a ranking of No. 21 last year to No. 6 this year. In a surprising fall, Apple ranked No. 14 last year but dropped to No. 50 for 2015.
