Workers say they’re empowered to develop the next big thing.”

The rankings and results were determined after surveying more than 1.4 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 10,000 employees. The top 100 companies were evaluated then ranked based on employee survey responses, analysis of external public ratings, direct interviews and responses from company officials, and additional research on each company as conducted by Newsweek. The five critical areas that were measured to gauge employee sentiment include:
- How positive workers feel about their future at the company
- Career achievement
- How much employer values align with employee values
- Respect at all levels
- Level of collaboration at the firm

“As a result of the great resignation, more companies recognize the importance of focusing on employee satisfaction to not only attract but retain top talent,” said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief of Newsweek. “The businesses on this year’s list clearly demonstrated that commitment.”
