To be considered for the list, companies submitted an application detailing over 200 data points describing their HR programs and practices. Great Place to Work, an analytics firm that has partnered with Fortune to create the list for the past 23 years, then conducted an anonymous survey of each company's workforce.
In total, 85 percent of the evaluation was based on what employees reported in the survey about “their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organization,” according to a methodology section for the rankings on Fortune’s website.
Companies need to employ at least 1,000 U.S. employees to be considered for the list, and government agencies aren’t eligible.
