Methodology
· Comparably’s 5th annual Best Leadership Teams is derived from employees who anonymously rated their CEOs, executive leaders, and direct managers on Comparably.com over a 12-month period (June 24, 2021 through June 24, 2022).
· The final data set was compiled from 15 million ratings across 70,000 companies large and small.
· To qualify, Large companies (more than 500 employees) must have met a minimum of 75 employee participants and Small/Mid-Size companies (500 or fewer employees) must have met a minimum of 25 employee participants.
· Additional weight was given to companies with more participation from their employee base, relative to their company size, for statistical significance.
· There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required.
