RingCentral, Inc. has been named to TIME’s America’s Best Companies 2026 list, a recognition that underscores its standing in employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency. Presented in collaboration with Statista, the ranking evaluates U.S. companies across three primary dimensions, highlighting organizations that demonstrate excellence in these areas. The inclusion reflects RingCentral's commitment to innovation, employee experience, and long-term growth, particularly as businesses increasingly adopt AI to transform communications and customer engagement.

The selection process for America’s Best Companies 2026 relied on rigorous data analysis. TIME and Statista assessed companies based on employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency. Employee satisfaction was derived from survey data of approximately 217,000 verified employees over the past three years, covering company image, workplace culture, and compensation. Financial performance was evaluated using Statista’s revenue database from the previous five years, with eligible companies generating at least US$100 million in revenue during 2025. Metrics included revenue growth, net income changes, asset growth, and return on assets (ROA). Sustainability transparency was assessed using Statista’s ESG Database, evaluating factors such as carbon emissions intensity, board diversity, and CSR reporting.
