Abstract

This study analyzes companies recognized as among the '100 incredible places to work in Brazil' in 2020 by FEA-USP (Institute of Management Foundation of the School of Economics, Business, Accounting and Actuarial Science of the University of São Paulo) to evaluate indicators of employee satisfaction. Data was ethically obtained from a questionnaire on more than 300 management practices administered in September 2020. The analysis was based on (Walton, Sloan Management Review, Cambridge, Mass 15:11–21, 1973) quality of life at work criteria and involved applying Spearman correlation tests among indicators and interpreting the results according to (Kuhl, Interdependência entre a colaboração para inovação e o desempenho sustentável na indústria brasileira de eletroeletrônicos. [Doctoral Thesis], Universidade Federal do Paraná, 2012). The results show that an "incredible place to work" is characterized by belief in the company's values and workplace pride (22.14%). Significant correlations include fair and adequate compensation (0.703), working conditions (0.590), opportunity to use and develop skills (0.831), opportunity for growth and security (0.668), social integration (0.641), constitutionalism (0.579), work-life balance (0.616), and social relevance (0.657). These results deepen our understanding of incredible work environments and indicate that job satisfaction is vital for talent retention and organizational success. The '100 incredible places to work’ in Brazil demonstrate that management practices focused on employee well-being generate high levels of satisfaction, motivation, and commitment, which attracts talent and sustains organizational vitality, strategically aligning for a successful future.
