To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place to Work^® analyzed anonymous survey feedback representing more than 5.6 million U.S. employees.

The ranking is based primarily on rigorous analytics and what women report in a confidential survey about their workplace, and how fairly those experiences compare to men’s reports of the same workplaces.

Fifteen percent of the remaining rank is based on how well represented women are in the workforce and throughout management, considering national industry trends.
