List Methodology
To identify the 100 Best Companies to Work For®, each year
Fortune partners with Great Place to Work to conduct the most
extensive employee survey in corporate America. The ranking is
based on feedback from more than 232,000 employees at Great Place
to Work–Certified™ companies with more than 1,000 employees.
Winning a spot on this list indicates the company has distinguished
itself from peers by creating a great place to work for employees –
measured and ranked through analysis of the results of Great Place
to Work’s Trust Index© survey and Culture Audit© questionnaire.
Through the Trust Index©, employees anonymously assess their
workplace, including the honesty and quality of communication by
managers, degree of support for employees' personal and
professional lives and the authenticity of relationships with
colleagues. Results from the survey are highly reliable, having a
95% confidence level and a margin of error of 5% or less.
Companies' results on the Trust Index© survey are compared to peer
organizations of like size and complexity. The Culture Audit©
includes detailed questions about benefits, programs and
practices.
To be considered for the Best Workplaces lists, companies must
become Great Place to Work-Certified™. Details are available at
