The many changes have put employees and job seekers in the driver&#8217;s seat, igniting them to rethink what they expect out of an employer today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The top companies were selected based on a combination of research and unique member data, with LinkedIn focusing on workplaces where professionals can \u2018grow their careers\u2019, and which make the biggest impact in the professional world.<\/p>\n<p>To be eligible, companies must have at least 500 employees as of 31 December 2021, and employee attrition can be no higher than 10% over the prior 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>BusinessTech looked at the list of top companies and the skills and jobs which feature most prominently in their hiring posts. LinkedIn has also collated a list of some of the open jobs at each company.<\/p>\n<p><em>Information and job openings were correct at the time of publication.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr
