Glassdoor Announces Best Places To Work Tour On February 27 In San Francisco And On Livestream

MILL VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Glassdoor's Best Places to Work winners know what it takes to recruit top talent and build amazing cultures. So, what better way to learn how to become a Best Place to Work than hearing straight from the employers themselves? Glassdoor, one of the world's largest job and recruiting sites, is thrilled to announce its 2018 Best Places to Work Tour, a one-day event on Tuesday, February 27 at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center and on livestream for free, featuring top executives at winning companies to share insights and best practices on how to recruit and retain talent better, in part by building a strong company culture and dynamic work environment where employees thrive. Plus, Glassdoor will share how being a Best Places to Work winner can impact a company's financial performance.

People can learn more and register for the in-person event or free livestream on the event page. Leaders in HR, recruiting and employer branding are encouraged to attend — plus, for anyone hoping to get hired at one of the Best Places to Work, this is a unique opportunity to get an inside look into these top companies, including learning more about their company culture and how their leaders think about the employee experience.

"Nearly all employers, regardless of industry or size, have two things in common — they want to hire the best people, but agree that recruiting the best is no easy task. By attending the Glassdoor Best Places to Work Tour, employers will discover how building a company where employees like, or even love, to work has a direct impact on recruiting and retention, and even a company's bottom line," said Glassdoor CEO and Co-Founder Robert Hohman.

Emceed by Yahoo Finance Chief Tech Correspondent JP Mangalindan, the Best Places to Work Tour will feature executive speakers from several winning companies across industries and sizes, including Facebook, REI, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and Zoom Video Communications. Honored as the #1 Best Place to Work in 2018, Facebook has raised the bar for building a work environment that empowers employees to be their best every day. Facebook leaders will reveal what it takes to create a culture that not only attracts high performers, but also nurtures top talent. Also, in a fireside chat with Glassdoor CEO and Co-Founder Robert Hohman, author Patty McCord, who served as Netflix Chief Talent Officer for 14 years and helped to create the famous Netflix Culture Deck, will break down what it takes to recruit the best, and how building a culture of freedom and responsibility is key to any company's success.
