SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 14th Annual FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For® list was announced today and features some of the country’s most recognized and notable companies, with SAS, Boston Consulting Group, Wegmans Food Markets, Google and NetApp rounding out this year’s top 5. San Francisco-based Great Place to Work® Institute produces the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For list© each January.
Companies featured on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For© list have been evaluated by the Great Place to Work® Institute based on two criteria. The first is the Institute’s proprietary employee survey, the Trust Index©, which measures the level of trust, pride, and camaraderie an employee experiences in the workplace.
The second evaluated criterion is the Culture Audit© Questionnaire, which elicits detailed information on the programs, policies, and practices the leaders of each organization have built for the employees. Each company featured on the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For® list has exhibited exceptional results in all areas.
“Several companies may offer nearly identical benefits and special programs to communicate with or celebrate employees, but what sets the best workplaces apart is the workplace culture,” said Ricardo Lange, CEO of Great Place to Work© Institute. “Culture is the glue that binds all of the benefits and programs together in a cohesive and meaningful way for employees. The Best Workplaces have strong culture and continually find new ways to reinforce and emphasize their cultural values.”
