Paycom is the only company in its industry to receive the program’s highest overall distinction, achieving this honor based on its performance in creating high‑quality jobs, supporting career advancement, offering competitive wages, and retaining talent.

The recognition is based on an analysis of outcomes for over 12 million workers across 1,750 employers.
Selection criteria included job quality, wage competitiveness, and internal career advancement.
The "Where You Work Matters List" is powered by the American Opportunity Index and led by the Burning Glass Institute.
Paycom utilizes its own automated, single-database HR software to manage internal employee development.
