Methodology
Comparably Awards are derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com between September 12, 2017 and September 12, 2018. There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required. During the year-long eligibility period, Large companies (organizations with more than 500 employees) must have a minimum of 50 employee participants and Small/Mid-Size companies (businesses with fewer than 500 employees) must have a minimum of 15 employee participants to qualify. Winners were determined based on a series of questions employees were asked related to happiness at their place of employment. The answer to each question was given a numerical score and then compared to companies of similar size across the U.S. Additional weight was given to scores at companies with more participation from their employee base. The final data set was compiled from over 5 million ratings across 45,000 U.S. companies on Comparably.com.
