Employee experience platform joins the ranks of OpenAI, Disney, Tiffany & Co., and more

San Francisco, London, Melbourne, March 2, 2023 — Culture Amp, the world’s leading employee experience platform, has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2023.

This year’s list highlights the businesses at the forefront of their respective industries, paving the way for the innovations of tomorrow. These companies are setting the standard with some of the greatest accomplishments of the modern world. In addition to the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, 540 organizations are recognized across 54 sectors and regions.

“It’s an exciting time of growth at Culture Amp, and it’s an honor for our whole team to have that reflected in being named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list again this year,” said Didier Elzinga, CEO and co-founder of Culture Amp.

“While the world of work changed massively in recent years, one thing has remained consistent: your culture drives business success. Our research consistently shows that companies that put an intentional focus on designing their employee experience outperform on a number of key metrics, including share price performance. Our mission is to create a better world of work and we are delighted to be recognized by Fast Company for the innovation that we are driving in making those workplaces more impactful.”

This recognition builds on the momentum Culture Amp has seen over the last 18 months. The company expanded its innovative platform offerings by introducing its award-winning Develop module, which reimagines career development for the modern world by enabling employees to construct their own career path, giving managers additional tools to proactively support their teams and providing data insights to help human resource (HR) teams guide effective programs.

Culture Amp also recently expanded its presence in the United States, opening its third U.S. office in Chicago, which debuted an innovative approach to supporting the future of hybrid work environments. Additionally, the company hosted a U.S. iteration of its global Culture First event series in October 2022, bringing together international experts to share the latest data and ideas for employee experience and showcase the ways different organizations can utilize insights to create a unique model of workplace culture.

Fast Company’s editors and writers sought out the companies making the biggest strides around the globe. They also judged nominations received through their application process.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides a firsthand look at the inspiring and innovative efforts of companies across all sectors of the economy.

“What a strange and thrilling year it has been to honor this year’s Most Innovative Companies. This year’s list compiles some of the most cutting-edge groundbreakers who are changing our world every single day, from legacy organizations like McDonald’s to upstarts like MrBeast and institutions such as NASA. Everyone on the list does something completely, uniquely different, yet, they all have one thing in common: innovation,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughn.

Fast Company will host its third annual Most Innovative Companies Summit on April 19 and 20. The virtual summit celebrates the Most Innovative Companies in business, and provides an inside look at cutting-edge business trends and what it takes to innovate in 2023. Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies issue (March/April 2023) is available online here, as well as in in-app form via iTunes, and on newsstands beginning March 14. The hashtag is #FCMostInnovative.
