How Do You Identify the Top 100 Companies for Newsweek?

Most Loved Workplaces® is the certifying body behind the Newsweek’s ranking of the Most Loved Workplaces®. You must be certified in order to be considered.

The list was created with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development center, and think tank. BPI has conducted extensive research to identify the specific management practices that lead to employee motivation and satisfaction and to document the strong link between worker satisfaction and productivity and performance. Based on that research, BPI measured five basic areas, via surveys, to determine how employees feel about where they work to create the Most Loved Workplaces® list: the level of collaboration at the firm; how positive workers are about their future at the company; how much employer values align with employee values; respect at all levels; and career achievement.

 BPI surveyed more than 800,000 employees at companies ranging from less than 50 employees to more than 10,000; additionally, BPI interviewed several hundred company officials.
