RS named to the 2026 Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work list

This recognition celebrates RS for building an exceptional PeopleFirst culture where employee wellbeing, inclusion, and business performance thrive.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, has been named to the 2026 Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work list. This honor recognizes the 100 highest-scoring organizations from the 2026 Inspiring Workplaces Awards across the world and celebrates companies that demonstrate an unwavering commitment to creating PeopleFirst workplace cultures.

The 2026 Global Top 100 list represents the highest-performing workplace cultures across eight regional awards programs, including North America, Europe, the U.K. and Ireland, Asia, Australasia, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Each honoree earned its placement through an independently judged, story-based assessment evaluating six fundamental culture elements: culture and purpose, leadership, wellbeing, inclusion and belonging, employee voice, and employee experience.

Earlier this year, RS earned a #27 ranking among the 2026 Top 100 North American Inspiring Workplaces — jumping 40 spots from its 2025 position.

"Throughout the year, we have the privilege of celebrating inspiring organizations across each of our regions, and the Global Top 100 is the moment we bring the very best together on a truly global stage," said Matt Manners, founder of the Inspiring Workplaces Group. "Different countries, industries, and sizes connect through one common thread: a demonstrated commitment to creating workplaces where people and performance thrive together. Every organization on this list has earned its place through evidence and real impact."

"Being named one of the 2026 Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work is an incredible honor for RS Americas and a reflection of the culture our teams bring to life every day," said D'Mar Phillips, Vice President of People and Culture at RS Americas. "Our people are the heart of our business, and we're committed to creating an environment where authenticity, inclusion, and connection are truly felt. When employees are supported, empowered, and heard, they deliver exceptional experiences for our customers.
