The graph showing that companies rated highly by Glassdoor outperform the S&P 500 by a factor of 2.4 is significant. Is there a fund which invests that way? Vanguard should have a Glassdoor Index Fund.

The Parnassus Endeavour fund (https://www.parnassus.com/parnassus-mutual-funds/endeavor/in...) is partially based on employee satisfaction.

Here is an excerpt from an interview [0] with the portfolio manager.

John Rotonti: How do you define a high-quality business?

Jerome Dodson: Parnassus Investments defines high-quality companies as those with competitive advantages, quality management, and responsible business practices. I believe a high-quality workplace is one of the indicators of company quality. That's why the Endeavor Fund, which was originally named the Workplace Fund, focuses on investing in good workplaces.

With that kind of money at stake, you could expect the integrity of Glassdoor reviews to tank pretty quickly.
