“Being recognized as a top workplace reflects the culture our people have intentionally built together,” said Brian Sherman, executive vice president and chief people officer at Delta Dental of California and Affiliates. “Our employees are deeply connected to our purpose of improving health and well-being, and that sense of mission drives how we work, collaborate, and lead. We’re committed to creating an environment where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow.”
Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best Employers 2026 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Over 3.5 million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry), with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.
