Global leaders were selected from organizations that participated in Great Place To Work’s employee survey process, representing the voices of 14.8 million employees worldwide. The 25 World’s Best Workplaces stood out for creating globally exceptional employee experiences, high-trust relationships, and workplaces that are fair and equal for all.

“As a family-owned business for seven generations, we have a legacy of being Fearless, respecting each other like Family, and leading with a Founders mentality,” says Scott Northcutt, SVP Global Human Resources. “We are so proud for others to recognize what we know so well — that Bacardi is a special place and our culture is our superpower.”

More than 9,000 people make up the Bacardi global workforce and at work they are referred to as Primos, not employees. Primos, which means cousins in Spanish, is a nod to the Latin heritage and family business that is part of the company’s DNA. The Bacardi portfolio comprises more than 200 brands and labels, including some of the most iconic names in the industry such as BACARDÍ® rum, PATRÓN® tequila, GREY GOOSE® vodka, and many more.

This accolade follows other recent workplace recognitions for Bacardi, including:

Great Place To Work is the only company culture award in the world that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated.

Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These extraordinary companies are having an incredible impact, supporting their people, and fighting for a fairer, safer, and healthier communities around the globe. When you empower people to work with purpose, they reward you with innovation and performance — and help create a better world for all of us.”
