Fortune and Great Place to Work® Names Toast One of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Women™

Boston, MA — Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine have honored Toast as one of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Women. This is Toast’s first time being named to this prestigious list.

To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place to Work analyzed the survey responses of over 640,000 women who work for Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies that employ at least 50 women. Companies must also have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and at least one executive who’s a woman.

“It is an honor for Toast to be named one of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Women™,” said Annie Drapeau, Chief People Officer at Toast. “We embrace a hospitality mindset at Toast, which means we strive to make everyone — employees, our restaurant customers, partners, and beyond — feel like they belong. We’re proud to see the results of that hard work in recognition like this as we continue to innovate to help restaurants delight their guests, do what they love, and thrive.” 

The Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. It’s the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly women say they’re treated at their workplace. Great Place to Work measures the differences in women’s survey responses with those of their peers and assesses the impact of demographics and roles on the quality and consistency of women’s experiences.

“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces for Women and their commitment to ensuring equity for women at every level of the organization,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “These companies showed up for women in new ways to help them cope with challenges they face wherever they are—both inside and outside of work. Women in these companies are seen, heard and valued.”
