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 our analysis of the results of our
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 our Best
Workplaces lists, companies must become Great Place to
Work-Certified™. Details are available at
