- 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. Three hundred
eleven companies participated in this year's survey. 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 of the scoring is based on the company's 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, internal communications, training,
recognition programs and diversity efforts.
- The full list of winners and related stories will appear in the
February 7th issue of FORTUNE, available on newsstands on
Monday, January 24th, and now at www.FORTUNE.com/bestcompanies.
