Project Details
About the project
The seventh edition of Italy's Best Employers 2026 was created using feedback from professionals throughout the nation and a detailed methodology to evaluate companies. Feedback from 20,000 employees was gathered via an independent online survey, providing a representative sample of Italy’s workforce. 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 450 employers in the country, grouped into 20 industries.
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 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
Our media partner
Founded in 1876, Corriere della Sera is the most widespread among Italian newspapers. Deeply rooted in the country’s political, economic and cultural tradition, it is an international reference point and is considered the most authoritative newspaper, thanks to its comprehensiveness, depth and the quality of the information provided.
