    Hunting for a job in Dallas-Fort Worth? A new ranking from Fortune magazine suggests you might consider Arlington-based Texas Health Resources.

    Texas Health Resources ranks first among Texas-based employers and 15th nationwide on Fortune’s 2020 list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, published February 18. Last year, the organization ranked ninth nationwide.

    It is the highest-ranked health system on the list.

    “Focused on ‘individuals caring for individuals, together,’ this nonprofit network of hospitals and health facilities … developed a tool for nurses on rounds to track everything from patients’ food preferences to favorite conversation topics,” Fortune says of Texas Health Resources.

    “It has also trained 70 employee volunteers in mediation and conflict resolution to serve as Promise Coaches throughout the organization,” the magazine adds. “The setup, says one employee, is ‘the backbone of our culture,’ while another says it’s an example of how Texas Health’s ‘teamwork and collaboration are phenomenal.’”

    Texas Health Resources employs more than 22,000 people at 350 locations in North Texas, including 24 hospitals.

    Two other North Texas employers also made the cut: Dallas-based Ryan LLC, a provider of tax software and services, at No. 66; and Dallas-based Encompass Health Home Health & Hospice, part of Birmingham, Alabama-based Encompass Health Corp., at No. 88. Ryan landed at No. 52 on last year’s list, and Encompass at No. 54.

    Five other Texas-based employers also appear on this year’s list:

    18. Houston-based apartment owner and operator Camden Property Trust. Last year’s rank: 19.
    23. Houston-based homebuilder David Weekley Homes. Last year’s rank: 41.
    55. San Antonio-based financial services provider USAA. Last year’s rank: 30.
    70. Houston-based oil and gas production company Hilcorp Energy Co. Last year’s rank: Unranked.
    86. San Antonio-based oil pipeline and terminal operator NuStar Energy LP. Last year’s rank: Unranked.

    Fortune bases its annual list of the best workplaces on a nationwide study done by analytics firm Great Place to Work. This time around, the study featured input from more than 4.1 million U.S. workers who responded to over 60 survey questions.

    Nationwide, McLean, Virginia-based Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. ranks first on this year’s Fortune list, followed by Weston, Florida-based Ultimate Software Group Inc., Rochester, New York-based Wegmans Food Markets Inc., San Jose, California-based Cisco Systems Inc., and Pleasanton, California-based Workday Inc.

    Merry & bright news

    Dallas makes Santa's nice list as 2nd most festive U.S. city in 2025

    Dallas sparkles and shines for the holidays.

    In merry and bright news, Dallas has landed a coveted spot near the top of a 2025 ranking of America's most festive cities.

    Home services platform Thumbtack analyzed holiday light installation requests from customers from October 2024 to 2025 to determine the most festive U.S. cities. Rankings were based on the "relative frequency" of requests after being adjusted for the population of each state and metro area.

    Dallas comes in at No. 2.

    Dallas has been resting easy at the top of Santa's nice list since 2022. But the city's festive spirit has yet to dethrone Austin, which has held on to the top spot for four years in a row.

    There's plenty of dazzling shows illuminating Dallas-Fort Worth for the holidays, including drive-thru light parks and CultureMap's very own ice rink at Main Street Garden in downtown Dallas.

    Other festive holiday events happening around Dallas include many more local ice rinks, pop-up bars, plus volunteer opportunities to give back to the local community. Readers can also keep up with all of Dallas' holiday happenings in CultureMap's season-long editorial series.

    Other big Texas cities like Houston and San Antonio also all landed top-10 spots, proving the Lone Star State is much more festive than the rest of the country.

    "From Texas to Florida, the South is setting the standard for holiday spirit, and in true Texas fashion, bigger is definitely brighter," the report said. "Mild winters and a strong sense of community keep the Lone Star State shining at the top."

    Thumbtack's top 10 most festive U.S. cities in 2024 are:

    • No. 1 – Austin, Texas
    • No. 2 – Dallas, Texas
    • No. 3 – Seattle, Washington
    • No. 4 – Las Vegas, Nevada
    • No. 5 – Sacramento, California
    • No. 6 – Houston, Texas
    • No. 7 – San Francisco, California
    • No. 8 – Charlotte, North Carolina
    • No. 9 – San Antonio, Texas
    • No. 10 – Atlanta, Georgia
