Methodology

To be eligible for the list, employers must have at least 1,000 employees in the United States and cannot be a government agency. Over the course of the last year, Great Place To Work surveyed companies employing more than 7.3 million people in the United States and received more than 1.3 million survey responses. Of those, 640,000 were received from employees at companies who were eligible for this year's list.

In the survey, employees were asked to respond to 60 statements on a five-point scale and answer two open-ended questions. Employees responded regarding whether leaders at their company are accessible, communicate honestly and clearly, and if their actions match their words.

In addition, employees responded regarding whether they feel respected as individuals, if they receive training benefits, appreciation, support for their well-being, and opportunities to contribute. They also responded regarding whether they believe their company is fair related to pay, profits, promotions, recognition, favoritism, and opportunities, as well as if they're proud of their work, their team, and their company and if they feel they can make a difference and their work is meaningful.

List rankings were based on employee feedback, which was analyzed to determine the extent to which an individual's experience is shared by the full workforce. Great Place To Work measured the differences in survey responses across demographic groups and roles within each organization to assess both the quality and consistency of the employee experience.

Statements were weighed according to their relevance in describing the most important aspects of an equitable workforce.

Companies were also surveyed and provided information about their programs and workforce strategy. Each company answered six essay questions aimed at providing greater insight into how and why the organization is great for all people.
