News Facts

  • Kronos (News - Alert) ranked 17 on the Best Workplaces for Giving Back list, which is based on more than 350,000 confidential surveys of U.S. employees that measures how proud they are of their impact on the community, the difference they feel they make, and whether their work has special meaning combined with information about each organizations' charitable programs and giving.

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.
