Skillshare Named to Newsweek’s List of America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces for 2023

New York, NY (September 20, 2023) – Newsweek today announced their annual rankings for the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® list, and Skillshare®, the world’s largest online learning community for creativity, was ranked #39. The 2023 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® are the result of a collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company. 

The results were determined after surveying more than 2 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 100,000. The list recognizes companies that have created a workplace where employees feel respected, inspired, and appreciated and are at the center of the business model. 

“Our mission is to build the world’s most valuable creative learning community, and we believe that community starts with our employees. Skillshare’s ranking on this list is not just a badge of honor, it’s a testament to how our employees live our values of community, transparency, impact and curiosity each and every day,” said Skillshare CEO Matt Cooper.

The key areas included in the analysis assess how well companies demonstrate the areas within the Spark Model as defined by BPI, including Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision of the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Achievement. Employee sentiments and emotions indicating how engaged employees are, how positive they feel about their workplace, and how committed they are to the organization’s success were analyzed to identify the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces. 

“This award is the embodiment of the love of creativity and passion for learning that Skillshare is all about. We believe in nurturing creativity within our teams by focusing on wellness, personal and professional development and fostering our culture of belonging to help our people bring our mission to life,” said Skillshare Chief People Officer Lauren Tropeano.

“With the rapidly changing workplace and competition for top talent, more companies are recognizing the importance of employee engagement and commitment”, said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek. “The workplaces that have demonstrated a commitment to their employees in 2023 are more likely to attract the best talent and deliver strong business outcomes.”
