For the eighth time, Baird has been recognized as one of the Best Workplaces for Women by Fortune® and Great Place to Work®. In the 2026 Great Place to Work survey, 97% of Baird’s female associates said the firm is a great place to work.
Our continued recognition as one of the Best Workplaces for Women reflects the contributions and perspectives of women across Baird. Creating an environment where women can lead and make an impact is essential to our long-term success. When our associates feel valued and can reach their full potential, we are better positioned to deliver the best advice and service to our clients.

To determine the list, Great Place to Work analyzed the survey responses of nearly 600,000 women at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women, have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and at least one female executive.
Baird’s Ascend Associate Resource Group plays an important role in expanding leadership opportunities for women, promoting their voices and perspectives both inside and outside the firm, and facilitating programming and connections to recruit, develop and retain the best women professionals in the industry.
