Methodology
Employees of nominated companies with at least 10 employees in Houston were surveyed by Nebraska-based Quantum Workplace. All employees were given the opportunity to take a confidential survey online, and Quantum issued each company a score based on employees’ answers.
Employees evaluated their companies in areas such as goals and leadership, communication and support, advancement opportunity and skill development, recognition and compensation, tolerance and flexibility, and embracing innovation and ideas. Companies received scores up to 100, and Houston Business Journal, upon receiving the rankings from Quantum, decided a cutoff for The Lists.
