Project Details
About the project
The first edition of America’s Best Employers for Company Culture 2025 is based on an online survey of more than 218,000 employees, combined with key performance indicators (KPIs) related to company culture.
To be considered, companies had to be US-based with at least 1,000 employees. Following extensive research across industry lists and reputable company databases, 3,000 employers were identified as eligible.
In addition to survey feedback, we assessed each company’s performance in culture-related best practices, such as employee-centric training programs, employee-led resource groups, and the composition of boards and executive teams.
The final ranking features the top 600 US employers for company culture, determined through our scoring model.
Scoring
The scoring in our evaluation
Our scoring model is based on independently collected survey data from employees in the US. The data is divided into several assessment dimensions.
Direct score
Employees were asked to give their opinion on a series of statements on company culture-related topics concerning their own employer. The rate of agreement/disagreement regarding the statements was measured on a 5-point Likert scale.
Indirect score
Additionally, participants were given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stood out either positively or negatively with regards to company culture.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating employer rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the Best Employers for Company Culture USA 2025 methodology.
01 Concept
For our employment projects, we evaluate and rank the world’s leading employers, highlighting organizations that excel in fostering positive work environments and sustainable growth. Our rankings help job seekers make informed career choices while providing companies with a benchmark to assess their standing in the global job market.
02 Data Collection
For data collection, our team of analysts creates detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. By working with leading online access panels worldwide, suitable participants are identified and surveyed independently of potentially awarded employer brands. Survey responses are then checked for quality and validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
03 Evaluation
To evaluate the data, we apply a scoring model that combines direct feedback on the participants’ own employers with indirect feedback on other employers within their professional fields.
04 Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer, company information is researched and eligibility for the list is confirmed. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
