2021 World’s Best Workplaces Methodology
Our Methodology
Great Place To Work® identified the World’s Best Workplaces™ in 2022 by analyzing surveys representing 14.8 million employee opinions worldwide. The survey also considers the breadth and impact of company workplace programs.
Organizations are assessed on their efforts to create great workplaces and positively impact people and communities across multiple countries worldwide. The World’s Best Workplaces have demonstrated their success in creating great workplaces and their impact on their people and communities by ranking on national lists worldwide.
To be considered, companies must be identified as outstanding global employers by appearing on at least five Best Workplaces lists in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa, North America, or Australia during 2021 or early 2022. In addition, companies must have at least 5,000 employees worldwide, with at least 40% (or 5,000) of those employees located outside the headquarters country. We are pleased to recognize businesses that have gone above and beyond to establish cultures that prioritize people at their essence.
