Roth Staffing named one of the Best Workplaces for Women, Ranking #7 in the small and medium category.

ORANGE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have selected Roth Staffing as one of the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™. This is Roth Staffing’s ninth time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at #7 in the small and medium category. Earning a spot means that Roth Staffing is one of the best companies to work for in the country.

To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of nearly 600,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women, have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and at least one female C-suite executive.

“We are excited and feel so honored to be recognized as one of the Best Workplaces for Women,” said Adam Roth, CEO of Roth Staffing Companies. “At Roth Staffing, we believe in empowering every individual to reach their full potential. This award is a testament to the culture of inclusivity, support, and opportunity we’ve worked so hard to build. It’s a win for every woman who has been part of our journey, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come. Thank you to our incredible team for making this possible.”

The Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for women regardless of job role, race, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

Great Place To Work analyzed the gender balance of each workplace compared with Bureau of Labor Statistics industry data. Companies were also assessed on how representation changes as women rise from front-line positions to the board of directors.

“The things that create a great workplace for women are the same basic needs that every employee has,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “The best workplaces have closed the experience gap, providing access and opportunity to all regardless of an employee’s gender or background.”

“Fortune congratulates the companies that made the cut for the Best Workplaces for Women,” says Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. “Based on survey responses of so many women nationwide, these companies clearly demonstrate they have created workplaces where many feel valued, supported, and encouraged to do their best work.”
