There’s something worth celebrating here. Best Companies Group is honoring a remarkable group of companies that have figured out what many others are still chasing: how to build workplaces where people don’t just show up; they stand for something.
The 2026 Proud and Purposeful Employers aren’t simply offering good benefits or competitive pay. These organizations have done something harder and more meaningful. They have created workplaces where employees feel genuinely proud to be part of something larger than themselves. That matters more than ever.
So what does it take to make this list? We didn’t rely on promises or polish. We built a nationwide process: open nominations, real employee feedback, and honest assessment of what each company is actually doing to foster purpose, pride, and a sense of mission. It’s rigorous because the stakes are high. The companies on this list have shown they are serious about it.
What struck us most is how these winners have moved beyond the transactional into something truly inspiring. Their employees don’t just work, but they contribute to a mission they believe in. They leave at the end of the day with a sense that their work mattered. And that ripples outward, changing not just how their employees experience work, but how they carry themselves in the world.
To this year’s winners: you have set a standard that others should study and strive toward. You have shown that purpose isn’t a poster on the wall. Purpose and meaning are ideas that are felt by every person who walks through your doors. Your work matters, for your people and for what is possible in American business.
Only the Best,

Nover Marketing
Nurture Teams. Grow Business.
At Nover Marketing, we believe great work starts with well-supported people. That belief shapes everything we do, from how we build our team to how we serve our clients.
We offer an optional four-day work week, flexible hours, and a 100 percent remote environment because we trust our people to manage their time and deliver results. Our team receives 100 percent employer paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, four weeks of PTO, 12 paid holidays, six personal days, and additional paid time for volunteering, professional development, and conferences. We also offer a 401(k) with a 3.5 percent employer match. We do not believe burnout creates excellence. Balance does.
Nover is a female-led agency serving a traditionally male dominated industry, and our team is primarily female. We see diverse perspectives as a strategic advantage, not a talking point. Our culture is built on trust, autonomy, and accountability, giving people the
space to do their best creative and strategic work.
That mindset carries directly into how we work with clients. We do not white label. We do not hide who is doing the work or inflate margins through opaque practices. Clients work directly with our team, and we charge fair rates because long-term trust matters more than short-term wins.
We are deeply invested in our clients’ growth. When something is not working, we dig in. We analyze, adapt, and go the extra mile to uncover what is missing. If that means learning a new skill or rethinking an approach, we do it. Our success is tied directly to our clients’ success, and we act like it.
At our core, we are creators. We believe a creative life is a balanced one, and we have built a company that proves you do not have to sacrifice people to build performance. By nurturing teams first, we create better work, stronger partnerships, and businesses that grow the right way.
Ridgeline Insights
At Ridgeline Insights, we believe that by embracing adventure, we unlock the path to collective success. That belief shapes how we work, how we grow, and how we show up for one another every day.
We’re a team of brand people who thrive on challenge—whether that means building highly customized Amazon strategies or pushing ourselves to dream bigger, grow faster, and celebrate the wins along the way. Our work is rooted in integrity, humility, and ownership. We do the right thing, stay curious, and take responsibility—because
trust, both with our clients and our teammates, is everything.
Our culture is built on connection. We listen, respect one another, and actively work to elevate the people around us. We believe you can have it all: meaningful work, smart planning, and a life outside the office that fuels you. That is why we encourage our team to live smarter, work intentionally, and make space for what matters most.
At Ridgeline Insights, success isn’t just about performance—it’s about growth, trust, and building something great together.

Wild Montana
For decades—since 1958, in fact—we’ve been proud leaders of the community effort to protect all the places that make Montana special. Our people are the driving force behind every single win, and we’re proud to prioritize taking care of everyone in our community the right way.
Non-profit work is tough, and we know attracting and keeping the best staff means genuinely taking care of them—no gimmicks. Would you rather have a ping-pong table or paid Fridays off as part of a 32hour, four-day workweek? We chose the latter, plus 20 days of PTO, 15 paid holidays, fully paid health and dental insurance, a 401(k) match, and a fully paid three-month sabbatical after five years.
Every year we take a three-day staff trip to one of Montana’s coolest spots, because connecting our team to the lands we protect is part of the job. This commitment to balance and well-being builds a culture of collaboration and shared purpose, where we connect whether we’re strategizing policy, rallying supporters, or sharing stories over a beer. This isn’t just about job satisfaction; it’s our strategic strength. By ensuring our staff can thrive personally and professionally, we’ve built a resilient community that will support our wild places, and the people who love them, for generations to come.

BrainStorm, Inc.
BrainStorm exists to help people and organizations thrive in a world of constant change. We believe learning should be practical, human, and built for the reality of modern work, not outdated models that assume change happens in a classroom. That belief is at the heart of our purpose and our culture, and it shows up in how we build, how we serve customers, and how we support one another.
Our platform delivers intelligent interventions, targeted training, and specialized AI end-user enablement designed to drive real behavior change. We meet employees where work actually happens, inside their daily workflows, so adopting AI and other mission-critical tools feels achievable, supported, and empowering. When people feel confident using the tools at their fingertips, organizations can realize the full value of their technology investments and move forward with clarity, momentum, and shared capability.
That mission is driven forward by our team of PropellerHeads (team members). They’re proud to do work that is meaningful, impactful to others, and innovative in our industry. What we create doesn’t just “train” people. It helps them succeed, adapt, and feel capable in moments
of change. Our teams are motivated by the real humans on the other side of the platform: employees trying to do great work, leaders guiding transformation responsibly, and organizations striving to make progress without leaving people behind.
Purpose isn’t just a poster on the wall at BrainStorm. It’s a daily practice. We build products and services that respect people’s time, reduce friction, and translate big shifts like AI into clear actions employees can take with confidence. That same mindset shapes our internal culture: we value learning as a habit, not a program; we reward collaboration; and we focus on building solutions that are both intelligent and empathetic. Innovation matters here, but it’s never innovation for its own sake. It’s innovation in service of people.
We are proud to be a company where transformation is not just a business outcome, but a human one. BrainStorm is disrupting outdated learning models so employees can adopt the tools shaping the future of work, and do it feeling supported, capable, and included. That’s what “Proud and Purposeful” means to us: building change that works for people, and a culture where our employees know their work truly matters.
Tilting Futures
Tilting Futures has become an amazing place to work because each member of the team has helped co-create and build an organization culture that is rooted in their values and mission. Their team co-wrote a set of working agreements. These have helped set expectations and accountability of how their work culture shows up in their day-to-day work. Their team is extremely diverse at all levels of the organization, which is due to the inclusive work environment they have created, which starts from the hiring process. Although their team is located across the US and the globe, the team feels a strong sense of interconnectedness because they all have had an experience that ties them to the mission. You can read their staff bios and find out their tilting moment and why they are passionate about our work. This is why they have set up a benefit to visit their program in another country so they can continue to foster that connection to the mission. Tilting Futures works hard to ensure that every member of the team continues to learn, grow and develop and can take their career to the next level. This is seen in their professional development fund, annual development plans, and a culture of curiosity and feedback. Due to a lot of intentionality, people feel
like they can be their full selves without judgment. They create space for people to check-in at meetings, set aside time in their all-staff gatherings to build strong professional relationships, and have human centered policies and procedures. One of the ways they continue to elevate our work culture is by listening. They have multiple ways for the team to share feedback, concerns, solutions and ideas. They do their best to close that feedback loop so staff know they have been heard and what will happen next. People at all levels take ownership of the culture and work environment and our proud of what they have co-created.
Workshop Digital
We believe in building a better agency. One that helps businesses solve complex lead generation challenges and clearly understand the return on their marketing investment. Our work is grounded in accountability, transparency, and doing what is right for our clients, even when the answers are not simple.
Those beliefs shape how we show up every day. We take ownership of our work and our outcomes, adapt quickly when things change, and stay curious so we can keep learning and improving. We believe in showing up for our teammates and our clients with intention, honesty, and follow-through, and in making decisions with the long term in mind rather than chasing short-term wins. These values guide how we collaborate, how we solve problems, and how we support one another’s growth.
That belief carries beyond client work. We are deeply rooted in our local community in Richmond, Virginia, and regularly support small and local businesses through pro bono partnerships. Using our expertise to help strengthen the communities we are part of is not a side project for us. It is simply part of how we choose to operate.
Our people at Workshop Digital are also trusted to
do their work well. We give teams the autonomy to think critically, make decisions, and take ownership of their work, with clear expectations and support from leadership and managers. Curiosity and adaptability are encouraged, and collaboration is built into how we solve problems rather than treated as an extra step.
We invest in long-term growth, not just short-term performance. Learning, feedback, and development are ongoing, and we aim to support careers as they evolve. Leaders are expected to show up with honesty and accountability, especially during challenging moments, and to create an environment where people feel supported as professionals and as people. When our team succeeds, our clients succeed, because trust, challenge, and care are central to how we work together.
We see this recognition as a reflection of the work we’ve done so far, not a finish line. We remain committed to continuing to build an agency that challenges itself to be better, supports the growth of its people, and delivers thoughtful, accountable work for clients. As we move forward, we will keep learning, listening, and improving, because building a better agency is always going to be an ongoing effort for us.
