The competition process is based on two criteria: Two-thirds of the total score comes from a 58-statement survey completed by a majority of the employee population, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organizations culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. The two offer a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective and an overall portrait of the workplace culture.
