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
