Project Details

About the project

The first edition of Italy's Best Employers for Women 2026 was created using feedback from female professionals throughout the nation and a detailed methodology to evaluate companies. Over 100,000 evaluations were collected via an independent online survey. Respondents were asked to evaluate both their own employer and other employers in their industry.

To be considered for the ranking, companies had to have at least 250 employees and be based in Italy. The final list recognizes the top 150 employers in the country.

Scoring

Identifying the leading employers

Our scoring model weights independently collected survey data from employees in Italy, consisting of a direct score and an indirect score.

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 highly likely to recommend.

Indirect score

Respondents indicated the industry they work in. Based on this, each respondent was shown a selection of employers active in the given sector. Respondents could 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 Italy's Best Employers for Women 2026 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.

Partnership
