This recognition furthers Hyundai’s position as a leader in promoting career growth for women in the automotive sector and encouraging more female representation in the field.

Best Workplaces™ for Women certification is based on direct feedback from employees of the hundreds of organizations surveyed by Great Place to Work®. Select companies are acknowledged in this category based on in-depth analysis of the overall Trust Index score from female respondents, as well as the programs and practices in place that promote the fair treatment and advancement of women.

To be eligible for this list, organizations must be Great Place to Work Certified™ in the past year, have a minimum of 15 female employees and have at least 90% of all employees agree that their workplace is safe and people are treated fairly regardless of their gender.
