Medallia Recognized as One of Best Companies for Women, Diversity, and Overall Culture

CEO Leslie Stretch named among best CEOs for large companies as Medallia earns honors in all four categories of latest Comparably awards

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Medallia, Inc., the global leader in customer and employee experience, today announced the company was recognized in all four categories of Comparably’s latest Annual Best Places to Work Awards. Medallia was listed among the best companies for diversity, culture, and women, and CEO Leslie Stretch was named among the Best CEOs for companies with more than 500 employees.

“Our mission is to help organizations create a culture that values every person and every experience. But to do that, we know it has to start internally here at Medallia,” Stretch said. “We encourage people to bring their whole selves to work each and every day, and these awards are an incredible testament to the company and culture our people have built.”

Medallia ranked fifth on the overall list for Best Companies for Women, eighth for Best Companies for Diversity, and 10th for Best Company Culture, while Stretch ranked 19th on the list of Best Company CEOs. Rankings were based on anonymous ratings and feedback provided by employees over the past year.

“As employers look to attract new talent and retain their current workforce, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are vital to building a workplace culture where people feel valued and supported,” said Mary Ainsworth, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer for Medallia. “At Medallia, we don’t just accept our differences, we celebrate them and know they are what make us a stronger company.”

As an example, Medallia sponsors nine officially chartered employee resource groups (ERGs) that help ensure every voice is heard in an effort to truly foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our communities include API@ (Asian Pacific Islanders at Medallia), BAM (Black at Medallia), Latinx, Medley (our cross-functional global community), Parents@, Q-Field (LGBTQ+), Vets@ (U.S. and international Veterans at Medallia), WIT (women in technology), and Women@ (women at Medallia).

Medallia is growing and dedicated to “hiring the whole person.” For more information on careers at Medallia, visit: https://www.medallia.com/careers/.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
