Best Employers for Women 2022
To select its honorees, Forbes magazine partners with an outside research firm that polls current 嘿嘿视频 employees and employees at comparable organizations.
The Best Employers for Women 2022 were chosen based on an independent survey of 50,000 current employees at companies with at least 1,000 workers in their U.S. operations. Responses from women were in some cases weighted higher than those of other respondents. The evaluation was based on the following criteria:
- Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinion as to their likelihood of recommending their own employer as a place to work.
- Direct recommendations: Women were asked to rate their own employers regarding parental leave, family support, flexibility, discrimination, representation and career development, and pay equity.
- Indirect recommendations: Respondents evaluated other employers in their respective industries. Only the recommendations of women were considered.
- Diversity among top executives/board: An index was built based on the share of women in executive management or board positions.
