Great Place to Work, a global people analytics and consulting firm, analyzed responses from over one half million employees at Great Place to Work-Certified organizations across the U.S. The evaluation criteria included how trustworthy, caring and fair the company is in times of crises; employees’ physical, emotional and financial health; and the company’s broader community impact. Additionally, the evaluations included how employees’ experiences varied depending on their job role, gender, race/ethnicity, payroll status, and other characteristics to ensure that the company is creating a great workplace for all.

This year, 60 percent of each company’s score is based on confidential employee feedback.
