What Does It Mean That Kaplan Is a Most Loved Workplace®?
Most Loved Workplace® certification is not a popularity contest. It is a rigorous, data-backed assessment of how employees truly feel about where they work. Kaplan has earned this certification every single year since 2021 — that is six years in a row. This kind of consistency does not happen by accident. It reflects a culture that is built with intention and maintained with care.
What Is It Like to Work at Kaplan?
Working at Kaplan means being part of something bigger than a job. Every employee — whether in sales, technology, customer support, or operations — contributes to expanding access to education for millions of people. The mission is clear, and the culture reflects it. Colleagues genuinely love what they do, and that energy is contagious. Curiosity is celebrated. Growth is expected. And collaboration is not just encouraged — it is baked into how work gets done.
Kaplan's Five Pillar Assessment tells a compelling story. The company scores 88 out of 100 across all five pillars: Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision for the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Outcomes. Consistency across every pillar is rare — and it signals a culture that is healthy from the top down.
Does Kaplan Support Diversity and Inclusion?
Absolutely. Kaplan holds specialty Most Loved Workplace® badges for Diversity, LGBTQ+ inclusion, Women, Parents and Caregivers, and Volunteering. These are not self-declared titles — they are independently verified recognitions. Kaplan also holds the Top Most Loved Workplaces® for CEOs badge, which reflects transparent, compassionate, and integrity-driven leadership at the very top of the organization.
How Does Kaplan Support Career Growth?
Kaplan is also recognized as a Top Most Loved Workplace® for Career Advancement and for Young Professionals. That recognition lines up with the real benefits on offer. Employees have access to tuition reimbursement, professional development programs, and clear career advancement pathways. It is especially fitting for an education company to invest this deeply in its own people's learning journeys.
- Tuition reimbursement and education benefits
- Continuous learning opportunities
- Mentorship and feedback from supportive leaders
- Career advancement pathways across a global organization
What Benefits Does Kaplan Provide?
Beyond career growth, Kaplan takes care of the whole employee. Benefits span four key areas: Health & Wellness, Professional Development, Workplace Culture, and Additional Perks. Comprehensive health insurance, mental health support, flexible work arrangements, and employee recognition programs are all part of the package. 88% of employees report feeling a strong connection to their colleagues, and 89% say they trust their managers — numbers that reflect a workplace where people feel genuinely supported.
Why Do Employees Recommend Kaplan?
It comes down to mission alignment. When the work you do every day helps real people advance their education and careers, it is easy to feel proud of where you work. Kaplan's culture DNA reflects this clearly: the most prominent themes employees identify are Educational Impact, Continuous Learning, Collaboration, Integrity, and Opportunity. These are not values written on a wall — they are lived daily by thousands of employees across 27 countries.
Innovation is also a core part of the experience. Kaplan runs technology hackathons, fosters real-time communication through dedicated collaboration spaces, and holds regular Leader Chats to keep transparency front and center.
