Winning companies were selected by an independent research firm that considered factors like leadership, strategy and company performance; community initiatives and corporate responsibility; recruitment and selection; and work-life blend. Nominees engaged in comprehensive surveys throughout the assessment process, which offered opportunities for participants to share analytical reports, comparisons with other companies and opportunities to share knowledge or expertise.
