Empowering the Frontline, Together

The first half of 2026 has been a period of rapid technological evolution, but our core mission at Zebra remains unchanged: ensuring that every frontline worker is visible, connected, and fully optimized.

Achieving this requires constant innovation, a robust network of partners, and an empowering workplace culture. As we reflect on the first six months of the year, we are incredibly honored by the industry recognition we’ve received across all these areas.  These milestones are more than trophies on a shelf; they represent the real-world impact we are driving alongside our customers and partners.

This year, that commitment was recognized in several extraordinary ways. In June, The Wall Street Journal recognized Zebra as one of the Top 10 Companies for AI Readiness among the Best Companies for the Future. This prestigious ranking reflects our proactive approach to responsibly integrating artificial intelligence across our operations and solutions. By investing in AI-powered tools, we are delivering smarter, data-powered capabilities for the frontline workers who rely on us every day.

Product Innovation and Sustainability

Our shared mission is to create solutions that solve complex challenges at the edge of the enterprise. We were incredibly proud to see this commitment validated when Nucleus Research named Zebra a Leader in its Task Management Value Matrix, notably ranking our Workcloud solutions #1 in Usability. Additionally, Retail Tech Insights highlighted our collaborative approach to inventory optimization, recognizing how unified demand signal drives better outcomes for retailers.

This drive for innovation is a truly global effort. In EMEA, we earned 3^rd place in the Robotics & AI category for Zebra Companion in collaboration with one of our retail customers, MPreis at the Regal Re/Tech Awards. We are also celebrating a major sustainability milestone, taking home the Most Innovative Circular Economy Solution at the UK Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards.

Partner Ecosystem Excellence

We know that we cannot transform industries alone. Our partner ecosystem is the compass that helps guide Zebra’s vision into reality across the globe. We were thrilled that Zebra’s PartnerConnect Program earned a top rating in the 2026 CRN Partner Program Guide. This rating reinforces our dedication to providing our partners with the programs and support they need to navigate the market and thrive.

Fostering a Culture Where We All Prosper

None of these technological or business milestones would be possible without the people behind them. Building a culture where our global team feels valued, prepared, and empowered is a key priority.

It is a profound honor to be recognized as one of Newsweek’s Top 100 Most Loved Global Employers for 2026, and to be named to Newsweek’s Best Place to Work – Americas for the third consecutive year. Forbes also included Zebra on its distinguished list of “Best Places to Work – Midsize.”

To our employees, partners, and customers: thank you. You are the driving force behind every award and every innovation. We are energized by these mid-year milestones and look forward to continuing this shared journey with you in the second half of 2026.
