Paychex Earns Dual Recognition from Newsweek as America's Greatest Company and Most Admired Workplace

Paychex, Inc. has been named both one of America's Greatest Companies 2025 and one of America's Most Admired Workplaces by Newsweek, reflecting comprehensive excellence across financial performance, workforce commitment, innovation, and corporate ethics. These dual honors resulted from an in-depth analysis by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, evaluating companies across four key pillars of success through a methodology combining key performance indicators with qualitative reviews of public records and media coverage.

John Gibson, president and CEO of Paychex, emphasized that these recognitions reflect the company's strong financial performance, ongoing product innovation, and commitment to ethics in support of its mission to help businesses succeed. The Most Admired Workplaces designation specifically underscores the critical role played by Paychex's 19,000 employees in driving the company's achievements, highlighting the importance of human capital in organizational success.

Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Jennifer H. Cunningham noted that creating a workplace where employees feel respected and valued is something only some companies excel at, making the Most Admired Workplaces recognition particularly meaningful. The list was compiled through a large-scale survey of over 250,000 U.S. employees and 1.5 million company reviews, assessing companies across eight categories and over 15 key performance indicators, providing robust validation of workplace quality.

These latest honors add to Paychex's growing collection of 2025 recognitions, which already includes being named to Ethisphere's World's Most Ethical Companies and Fortune's America's Most Innovative Companies lists. The company's purpose-driven culture, rooted in six core values of integrity, partnership, accountability, respect, innovation, and service, has been developed over more than 50 years of operation, demonstrating the long-term sustainability of ethical business practices.

For HR vendors serving the human resources industry, Paychex's achievements signal the growing importance of comprehensive corporate excellence that balances financial performance with employee satisfaction and ethical standards. The company maintains an awards page on their website that details their various recognitions and achievements in the human capital management industry, providing valuable benchmarking data for industry professionals.
