SurveyMonkey named a top Inspiring Workplace across North America, Europe, and Asia
The recognition reflects the company’s continued evolution as a global workplace, with employees collaborating across offices in San Mateo, Portland, Ottawa, Dublin, Amsterdam, Heredia, Bengaluru, and Padova
SAN MATEO, Calif., July 14, 2026 – SurveyMonkey, the world’s most popular platform for surveys and forms, today announced it has been named a top 100 Inspiring Workplace in North America for the third consecutive year, a top 30 Inspiring Workplace in Europe, and a top 15 Inspiring Workplace in Asia for the second consecutive year by the Inspiring Workplaces Group, in association with Engagedly. These recognitions reflect SurveyMonkey's continued investment in building a global workplace where listening is built into how the company works, helping employees across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America thrive as the business continues to grow and evolve.
The global judging panel cited the authentic alignment between SurveyMonkey's product identity and its people strategy, praising the company for building its culture around the very thing it helps customers do: listen. Judges also recognized SurveyMonkey's commitment to turning employee feedback into action through continuous listening, multi-directional feedback loops, and differentiated well-being benefits that evolve alongside employee needs.
"Being recognized across three regions is especially meaningful because it reflects the culture SurveyMonkey employees have built together around the world," said Becky Cantieri, chief people officer at SurveyMonkey. "Listening is at the heart of what we do for our customers, and we believe we should hold ourselves to that same standard. We are proud to have feedback built into how we operate so employees can see their ideas shape the company, know their voices matter, and help us continue building a workplace where people can do their best work."
Judges commended SurveyMonkey for building a leadership team that reflects the diversity of its workforce, noting that women represent over 77% of the company's combined C-suite and SVP leadership team (7 out of 9 leaders). They also recognized SurveyMonkey's third consecutive perfect score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.
“Workplaces are changing at an unprecedented pace, with AI accelerating transformation across every industry. In times of constant change, organizations need more than strategy and technology alone. They need cultures that help people adapt, grow, and perform,” said Matt Manners, founder of Inspiring Workplaces Group. “Our 2026 winners are leading by example. They are proving that when businesses put PeopleFirst and build cultures based on trust, inclusion and belonging, they create the resilience and agility needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving world of work.”
The Inspiring Workplaces Awards recognize organizations that demonstrate excellence and proof of investment across six core elements of the organization’s “PeopleFirst” culture: Culture & Purpose, Leadership, Wellbeing, Inclusion & Belonging, Employee Voice, and Employee Experience. Rather than evaluating policies alone, the awards recognize organizations that demonstrate how culture drives performance, resilience, and long-term success.
