Great Place to Work® Awards

Each year Great Place to Work^® Institute selects 150 companies to appear on our U.S. Best Companies lists, the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For^® and the "50 Best Small & Medium Companies to Work for in America." While the lists rank the companies based on the scores of their Trust Index^© employee survey and Culture Audit^©, all of the companies on the lists - and many of those that do not make the lists - are extraordinary workplaces. The Great Place to Work^® Awards recognize companies with outstanding programs and practices that are particularly distinctive and have a real and lasting impact on the employee experience. Award winners are selected by the following criteria:

Appear on one of our U.S. Best Companies lists
Enjoy an exceptionally high score on one dimension of the Trust Index^© employee survey
Detail a unique stand-out program or practice in their Culture Audit^© submission
Employee comments support the positive impact this program has had on the employee experience
