Booz Allen Is Among World’s Most Admired Companies

For the 11th year in a row, Fortune magazine included Booz Allen in its list of World’s Most Admired Companies—a roster that has included global leaders such as Apple, Walt Disney, Berkshire Hathaway, and Google’s parent company Alphabet.

Fortune and Korn Ferry build this annual list based on a poll of nearly 4,000 executives, directors, and analysts. Poll participants evaluated companies in their industry on criteria such as investment value, the quality of a company’s management and products, and social responsibility.

Another key area of evaluation—and differentiation—the ability to attract talent.

“At Booz Allen, we’ve always focused on providing employees with skill-building, access to opportunities, and rewarding environments,” said Booz Allen Chief People Officer Betty Thompson. “Now more than ever in today’s competitive marketplace, we’re committed to attracting the best mission and technical talent, empowering people to succeed, and making our company a place where everyone can achieve their full potential.” 

Ranking among the world’s most admired companies adds to the growing list of acknowledgments for Booz Allen, many of which recognize the firm’s longstanding commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). 

Most recently, the Human Rights Campaign recognized Booz Allen as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” for the 12th year in a row after the firm earned another perfect score of 100 on the Corporate Equity Index.

In 2021, the firm ranked No. 2 in Forbes magazine’s “America’s Best Employers for Diversity” list. The roster, based on a survey of 50,000 American workers, recognizes top U.S. employers for proactive diversity and inclusion initiatives, diverse boards and executive ranks, and dedication to DEI. The firm also scored 100% on the Disability Equality Index, a nationwide benchmarking tool by Disability:IN and the American Association for People with Disabilities.

Booz Allen was also recently named:

• #1 Best Employer for Women by Forbes 
• A World’s Most Ethical Company by Ethisphere 
• Private-Sector Employer of the Year by CAREERS & the disABLED Magazine 
• Among DEI service provider Seramount’s 100 Best Companies and Best Companies for Dads in 2021
