To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners with the
Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee
survey in corporate America; 257 firms participated in this year's
survey. More than 252,000 employees at those companies were surveyed by
the institute, a global research and consulting firm operating in 45
countries around the world. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on
the results of the institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a
random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions
related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job
satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third is based on responses to
the institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about
pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about
hiring practices, methods of internal communication, training,
recognition programs, and diversity efforts.
