Project Details
About the project
The eighth edition of America’s Best Employers for Women 2025 is based on an independent survey of female employees conducted via professional online access panels.
More than 3,000 employers with 1,000 or more employees in the US were identified for the survey. This was done through comprehensive desk research of numerous sources (industry associations, trade journals, economic research institutes, etc.) as well as the previous year’s list.
The final list highlights the top 700 US employers for women, ranked using our scoring model.
Scoring
Identifying the best companies to work for
Our scoring model is based on independently collected survey data from employees in the US. This data is divided into several assessment dimensions.
Direct score
On a scale of 0 to 10, respondents indicated how likely they were to recommend their own employer to friends or family – with 0 being the least likely and 10 being the most.
Indirect score
Respondents indicated the industry they work in. Based on this, each respondent is shown a selection of employers who are active in the given sector. Respondents can then voluntarily recommend or advise against employers from the list.
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 America’s Best Employers for Women 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.
