Fortune and Great Place to Work® Name KnowBe4 One of the 2021 Best Workplaces for Women™, Ranking #11


Tampa Bay, FL, Sept. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine have honored KnowBe4 (NASDAQ: KNBE) as one of the 2021 Best Workplaces for Women™. This is KnowBe4’s fourth time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at 11th place. Earning a spot means that KnowBe4 is one of the best companies to work for in the country.

The Best Workplaces for Women award is based on analysis of survey responses from more than 5.6 million current U.S. employees. In that survey, 96% of KnowBe4’s employees said KnowBe4 is a great place to work. This number is 37% higher than the average U.S. company.

“KnowBe4’s workforce is made up of over 40% women, which is much higher than the average IT security organization,” said Erika Lance, chief human resources officer, KnowBe4. “And one out of four women at KnowBe4 is at management level or higher. We pride ourselves on supporting and promoting the women in our workforce, as we believe that diversity makes for a stronger, more productive and more inclusive workplace. We offer some amazing benefits for women, including fully paid parental leave, paid adoption and fertility assistance and more.”

The Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production list is highly competitive. Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization.

Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.



“These companies have made a commitment to fostering equity in the workplace. With the data about gender inequity in mind, the Best Workplaces for Women braved the task of combatting gender inequity by ensuring their women employees feel safe, heard, challenged and valued,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®.

In 2021, KnowBe4 also ranked as a Best Workplace in Technology, Millennials and Small and Medium Workplaces.
