About FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For
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. Two
hundred eighty companies participated in this year’s survey. More
than 246,000 employees at those companies responded to a
survey created by the institute, a global research and consulting
firm operating in 45 countries around the world. 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 remainder of the score is based on 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, methods of internal
communication, training, recognition programs, and diversity
efforts. The list and related stories will appear in the February
6, 2012 print edition of FORTUNE Magazine, and are available now at
www.fortune.com/bestcompanies.
About Chief Executive Magazine’s 40 Best Companies for
Leaders
The ranking is a benchmark for leadership development and talent
management. It is based on a study of approximately 1,000 firms

evaluated includes the quality of leadership development processes,
depth of leadership pipeline as measured by the percentage of

Executive Magazine, and is available now at
