Back to Back to Back

Our team has spoken and they made it clear to all: Watco is a great place to work. For the third time in just over a calendar year, the Watco team has made us a Newsweek Top 100 Most Loved Workplace®. We recently made America’s Top 100 Most Loved list, after earning a spot in 2022, and the global rankings earlier this year.

It wouldn’t be possible without our team. Best Practice Institute surveyed hundreds of Watco team members in early 2023. The anonymous results were analyzed and passed on to Newsweek, which then calculated the most recent rankings.

The questions asked about workplace involvement, leadership, opportunities, and more. Members of Watco’s leadership team also reviewed the results to determine our strengths and identify areas for improvement. More information about that will be shared in the coming weeks.

“Watco team members made this happen,” said Watco Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer Rachael Peterson. “They’re being recognized for the culture they’ve helped create. They deserve all the credit for this recognition.”
