If you have multiple offices, you can focus the survey on one office.

Q: Can a non-U.S. company join the program?

Yes. We accept companies from around the world.

All deadlines are 11:59 PM PST on the dates above.

About our methodology.

The ranking will be based on what employees themselves report in our anonymous Employee Survey about their workplace.

These responses will be reviewed for potential gender gaps. So if women, for example, rated an organization poorly on diversity, but non-minority groups rated it highly, we would take that into account and adjust the company’s score accordingly.
