CHICAGO, February 19, 2026 - BDO USA, one of the nation’s leading accounting and advisory firms, today announced it was selected by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Culture, Belonging & Community 2026. The list recognizes companies that prioritize culture, foster genuine belonging and build strong communities.
We are committed to helping our people thrive by nurturing a supportive culture built on flexibility, inclusion and trust. When there’s trust in the workplace, people can communicate openly, collaborate more effectively and feel empowered to make decisions that drive collective success. I am incredibly grateful for the community we’ve created together, without which acknowledgements like this would not be possible.
This recognition is based on comprehensive methodology that combines desk research, third-party data and a 2025 national survey that collected 2.7 million company reviews across industries. Plant-A Insights Group analyzed data points in areas such as leadership, integrity, benefits and other key performance indicators tied to workplace culture. Final rankings were determined through a proprietary weighted scoring model, with top employers honored by Newsweek.
“The modern workplace has evolved beyond just a place to earn a paycheck,” said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Newsweek Editor-in-Chief. “Today's employees seek environments where they feel valued, heard and connected. Companies that embrace these principles don't just attract top talent; they create spaces where people from all walks of life can collaborate and innovate. We hope this ranking helps job seekers and professionals identify workplaces where they feel they can truly belong and that provide robust opportunities for success.”
