U.S. News’ unique methodology for evaluating employers is based on an in-depth analysis of publicly available data, such as employee reviews, court records, financial strength, and governance. Companies did not submit data, apply, or pay a fee to be considered. To calculate the annual U.S. News Best Companies to Work For list, U.S. News analyzed employee perception of six factors that are important to employee wellbeing, including quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort and safety, belongingness and esteem, and career opportunities and professional development. As noted in the publication’s FAQs, What Is a U.S. News Best Company to Work For?, a company earned a “Best” award only if it scored well above average nationally, in its industry, and/or in its region.
