Abstract

The most attractive companies to work for are of special interest because they represent important relevance in the labor market and society. The aim of this article is to analyze the best companies in the labor market in Spain that remain every year in the ranking published by the Revista de Actualidad Económica, during 2013-2020 period. The labor excellence of these companies is investigated taking in account the beginning of COVID-19 crisis, in addition to characterizing them with critical indicators like the gender of the management, European Union belonging, the location of its headquarters according to Autonomous Community, size, stock market price and whether they belong to the IBEX35. A quantitative analysis by means of descriptive and inference methods allows us to conclude that excellent companies led by women stand out in Work Environment and CSR. Organizations outside the European Union achieve higher values. On the other hand, location of its headquarters does not influence valuation. The size does result in a total positive assessment, but the same doesn’t apply if the company is listed on the stock market. Finally, it is observed that, faced with the challenge of COVID-19, these companies manage to maintain consistent labor excellence in environments where Talent, Compensation, Environment, Training and Total Valuation stand out. Therefore, valuable results are provided for the formulation of human resources policies.
