Methodology
- Comparably’s Best Work-Life Balance Awards are derived from ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their companies on Comparably.com between September 12, 2018 and September 12, 2019. There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required. The final data set was compiled from nearly 10 million ratings across 50,000 U.S. companies.
- To qualify, Large companies (more than 500 employees) must have a minimum of 75 employee participants and Small/Mid-Size companies (fewer than 500 employees) must have a minimum of 25 employee participants. Additional weight was given to companies with more participation from their employee base.
- Winners were determined based on a series of questions employees were asked related to their work-life balance (in yes/no, true/false, 1-10 scale, and multiple-choice format). The answer to each question was given a numerical score and compared to companies of similar size.
- A combination of questions were used to determine the best companies for work-life balance, including:
- Are you satisfied with your work-life balance?
- How’s the work-life balance at your company?
- On average, how many hours do you work per day?
- How long do you take for lunch breaks?
- Do you feel burnt out at work?
