To develop the ranking, Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group surveyed companies employing at least 1,000 people about their employment experience and also consulted more than 389,000 company reviews.

The companies that made the final ranking share common values such as competitive salaries and benefits, equity and diversity, and a workplace culture that is open to new ideas, Newsweek said. Additionally, the companies provide comfortable working environments while encouraging career development and work-life balance.

Companies that create “great workplaces” benefit from increased productivity and lower turnover rates that contribute to stability while employees benefit from better physical and mental health, the magazine said. Those employees tend to take fewer sick days, are less likely to experience burnout, and provide excellent service to their customers and colleagues.
