Bath & Body Works Named Top Brand for Job Growth and Opportunity by the American Opportunity Index

October 29, 2024 /3BL/ - Bath & Body Works was recognized today as one of the best workplaces in America for career growth by the American Opportunity Index. The ranking measures how effective companies are at developing talent to drive business performance and advance individual careers. This is the second consecutive year Bath & Body Works has been recognized on the Index.

The American Opportunity Index is based on a comprehensive data analysis of the career trajectories of more than five million employees at 395 of America’s largest companies. The Index measures how well firms promote, pay, hire and retain their employees based on a five-year period. It is a joint project of the Burning Glass Institute, Harvard Business School’s Managing the Future of Work Project and the Schultz Family Foundation.

This year, Bath & Body Works ranked within the top 100 of the hiring and promotion Index categories. The hiring category measures how well companies hire people without degrees and with little experience. The promotion category ranks companies based on how well companies move their employees up and prepare them for future roles.

“Our associates are the foundation of our brand and its success,” says Deon Riley, Bath & Body Works’ Chief Human Resources Officer. “We strive to be a place where our associates want and choose to be every day, and that’s why we’re passionate about investing in their future — both professionally and personally. We are committed to providing valuable growth opportunities because we believe that when people feel valued and empowered to be successful, we can continue to grow as a stronger, smarter business.”

To further support its associates’ personal and professional growth, Bath & Body Works recently launched ‘Investing in you,’ a dynamic suite of programs and benefits which offers educational opportunities, tuition reimbursement options and financial stability resources to support career advancement and overall well-being. These benefits are available to all eligible U.S. associates across its stores, distribution centers and home office.
