We’re proud to share that Experian has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Employers for Company Culture, jumping 230 places to rank #85 in just the second year of the list. This recognition reflects what our people experience every day: a culture shaped by appreciation, inclusion, and meaningful feedback, where employees are supported to grow, contribute, and do their best work.
The Forbes list is built on independent employee feedback, assessing how consistently organizations live their values, build trust, and create environments where people feel respected and heard. Being named among America’s best reinforces that our culture is not accidental. It’s intentional. It’s inseparable from how we innovate, including how we responsibly develop and use AI, to create better outcomes for employees, clients, and consumers.
Experian’s Chief Talent Officer Lesley Wilkinson was recently invited to talk about how culture, trust, and innovation come together at Experian at the Great Place to Work For All Summit and shared some of her sentiments.
Q: What does the Forbes recognition say about Experian’s culture today?
A: It tells us that our culture of appreciation, feedback, and inclusion is resonating. When people feel trusted and supported, they’re more engaged, and that fuels better ideas, collaboration, and performance.
Q: How does AI innovation fit into Experian’s culture?
A: Trust comes first at Experian. We’re a trusted institution for clients, consumers, and our employees, and that responsibility shapes how we innovate with AI. We view AI as an enabler, not a solution in itself. AI can help people make better, faster, and more informed decisions. Our “humans in the lead” approach ensures that fairness, transparency, and accountability remain non‑negotiable. Technology supports our work, but human judgment stays firmly in charge.
Q: Why is trust so central to Experian’s success?
A: Trust connects everything we do. Our employees trust our leadership, and millions of clients and consumers trust us with their data. Building and protecting that trust enables innovation, strengthens relationships, and drives long-term growth.
