Outshining the status quo

Where others cling to old patterns, you choose vision and change. For a reality in which equality is not a promise, but a fact. As Best Workplace for Women, you prove that inclusion is not a facade, but the result of choices and hard work. Progress takes guts and determination, and you show that it can be done.

The Enlightened Dinner will be an evening of significance. In the city palace of Keetje Hodshon - a woman who was ahead of her time - we will celebrate progress and gender equality. While enjoying a catered dinner, we will announce the official ranking of the Best Workplaces for Women 2026.

What does it mean to be a Best Workplace for Women?

Organizations that are proud to call themselves a Best Workplace for Women meet the following criteria:

The number of women equals or exceeds the CBS benchmark in the organization's industry
The percentage of women in leadership roles exceeds 33%
Senior management consists of at least one woman
A Trust Index score of 70% or higher according to the women in the organization

A total of 243 organizations were eligible for the 2026 list. Of these, only 73 organizations met the above criteria. From this group, a selection by category (Small, Medium, Mid-Large and Large) was then made based on the For All formula. And your organization is among them!

Two seats per organization are available for this event. Bring an ally - your CEO, a colleague or like-minded person - of any gender. It is not an event exclusively for women.
