Bacardi Limited, the Bermudian-based international spirits company, has been ranked 18th among the world’s best workplaces.

The annual list is presented by Great Place to Work, the US-based global authority on workplace culture, and Fortune magazine.

Hilton Hotels claimed top spot in the survey, with DHL Express in second place and Cisco in third spot.

Great Place to Work said it selected the world’s best workplaces by gathering and analysing confidential survey responses representing 6.2 million employees worldwide at Great Place To Work certified organisations.

Bacardi said the 25 world’s best workplaces stood out for creating globally exceptional employee experiences, high-trust relationships, and workplaces that are fair and equal for all.

“As a family-owned business for seven generations, we have a legacy of being fearless, respecting each other like family, and leading with a founders mentality,” says Scott Northcutt, SVP Global Human Resources.

“We are so proud for others to recognise what we know so well - that Bacardi is a special place and our culture is our superpower.”

Michael C Bush, chief executive of Great Place To Work, said: “Being a global employer comes with immense responsibility to people and to the planet.

“These extraordinary companies are having an incredible impact, supporting their people, and fighting for fairer, safer, and healthier communities around the globe.

“When you empower people to work with purpose, they reward you with innovation and performance - and help create a better world for all of us.”
