About The Best Workplaces for Giving Back The Best
Workplaces for Giving Back were determined by research and consulting
firm Great Place to Work based on feedback from more than 357,000
employees at Great Place to Work-Certified organizations. Employees
completed anonymous Trust Index© surveys, answering detailed
questionnaires that include questions about how proud they are of their
impact on the community, the difference they feel they make and whether
their work has special meaning. Results from the survey are highly
reliable, having a 95 percent confidence level and a margin of error of
five percent or less.
To select the list, Great Place to Work considered organizations'
policies regarding paid time off for volunteering and the extent to
which they contribute generously to community and charitable causes
through corporate donations and employee fund-matching programs. Final
rankings were based primarily on employees' feedback on more than 50
survey questions, with a special emphasis on their connection to the
organization's community impact. Rankings reward companies where not
only the majority of employees are proud of their community involvement,
but these experiences are widely shared within the organization
regardless of gender, race/ethnicity, job role, or other personal
characteristics. Results also take into account the complexity of the
employee population and performance relative to peers.
