—Supporting the pursuit of work/life balance

—Taking into account the human toll when making business decisions, and sustaining an inclusive work environment founded on dignity and respect for all employees.

"As we look back over the past 17 years, much has changed. But what hasn't changed is that the companies on this list are true examples of forward-moving companies," said Marci Koblenz, co-founder, and president, Companies That Care.

"We believe employee engagement begins with engaged employers, such as Delta. Our Honor Roll companies take into account the human toll—whether the humans are their employees, customers, or other stakeholders—when making their business decisions. That practice has helped them grow and prosper."
