The ranking was created in partnership with market research firm Statista and used anonymous responses from 50,000 Americans (30,000 women and 20,000 men) working for companies with more than 1,000 employees.
All respondents rated their company based on working conditions, diversity and how likely they would be to recommend the company to others. Female respondents rated their company on parental leave, discrimination and pay equity. They were also asked to recommend companies outside their own industry. The final ranking was based on those recommendations and which companies have the most gender-diverse boards and C-suites.
