The release of the short lists of the Most Attractive Employers in Sport continues today with the second of eleven categories - the Top 20 Most Attractive Sports Teams.
Ten F1 teams are included in the Top 20 Most Attractive Sports Teams for those who already work or wish to work in sport, as revealed by iWorkinSport. There is a steep drop-off to basketball with three teams and esports and MotoGP with two teams each. Cricket, cycling and Formula E are represented with one team each. To note, teams from the United States are not included in this list. They are represented in a separate list - Top 20 Sports Teams USA - which will be released in the coming weeks.
The list is the result of a study conducted by iWorkinSport, which surveyed more than 1,500 people from all continents, with the majority already working in sport, and asked them a simple question: “If you could choose to work anywhere in sport, where would that be?”
At first, the respondents chose organisations divided into ten categories and, at the end, they indicated one single preferred choice, overall – the “Employer of their Dreams”.
The final rankings of the iWorkinSport Most Attractive Employers 2023 will be announced at an Awards ceremony at the Olympic Museum, in Lausanne, on June 1st, at a VIP dinner offered to recruiters and academic partners of the iWorkinSport Job Fair, which will take place the following day in Lausanne.
