LHi Group ranks #43 in America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® 2026

We’re back in America’s Top 50 Most Loved Workplaces, with LHi Group ranking #43 in the country for 2026.

We’re incredibly proud to share that LHi Group has once again been named one of America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces®, ranking #43 in the country for 2026.

That keeps LHi firmly within the Top 50 and makes us the only recruitment business to feature within the Top 50 this year. The annual ranking, produced by Best Practice Institute, is also featured by The Wall Street Journal.

For us, though, the part that matters most is what sits behind the number.

This recognition is shaped by how people experience their workplace: the relationships they build, the opportunities they’re given, the support around them and how they feel about being part of the business.

And that all comes back to our people.

 

A culture you can feel

Our US business has grown a lot over the years, with teams now based in New York, Austin, Miami and Los Angeles.

With that growth comes change, but keeping the culture strong has always mattered.

As Kevin Cooley, Head of LHi, USA, put it when sharing the news with the team:

“When you walk into an LHi office, you know it’s an LHi office.”

It’s a line that really captures that ‘stardust’ we talk about so often.

You feel it in the energy of the offices, the personalities across our teams, the way people back each other and the sense that, wherever you are, you’re still part of something shared.

Kev said it best:

“So much work goes into creating a culture, and a lot of companies do talk about it. But the one thing I’m really proud of about LHi Group is we live and breathe it.”

And that’s really what this recognition comes back to: the people who create that culture every day.

 

Creating opportunities for our people

A big part of making somewhere a great place to work is giving people room to grow.

That means making sure people feel supported, have access to development and can see where their career could take them next.

As Anne-Marie Butts, Chief People Officer, shared:

“We work incredibly hard to make sure that our people are developed, they feel supported and have the progression opportunities that we hold in such high value here at LHi Group.”

That can look different for everyone. For some, it’s stepping into leadership. For others, it could mean building deeper expertise, moving into a new part of the business or taking an opportunity in another office.

And that’s a big part of why this recognition means so much.

As Anne-Marie added:

“I think you should all be incredibly proud of the part that you’re playing in making USA LHi a Most Loved Workplace.”

 

How the rankings are determined

A big reason this one means so much is because it’s based on how people actually feel about where they work.

Best Practice Institute uses its Love of Workplace Index® to understand how people genuinely feel about where they work, looking at areas including collaboration, confidence in the future, shared values, respect and achievement.

So, while #43 is a number we’re very happy to celebrate, what matters more is what sits behind it: how our people feel about being part of the business.
