Top 100 Employers for Which to Work in 2007
This list of the 100 best companies to work for in 2007 is based upon the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. More than 105,000 employees from 446 companies responded to a 57-question survey. Two-thirds of a company's score was based on the survey, which was sent to a minimum of 400 randomly selected employees from each company and asked about things such as attitudes toward management, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The remaining third of the score came from an evaluation of each company's responses to the institute's Culture Audit, which included detailed questions about demographic makeup, pay, and benefits programs, and open-ended questions about the company’s people-management philosophy, internal communications, opportunities, compensation practices, diversity programs, etc. After the evaluations were completed, if news about a company came to light that may have significantly damaged employees’ faith in management, that company may have been excluded from the list. About 1,500 companies participated. Any company that was at least seven years old with more than 1,000 U.S. employees was eligible.
