Created in 2010 by The NonProfit Times—the leading national publication for nonprofit managers—and Best Companies Group, Inc., this nationwide survey and awards program honors the best employers in the nonprofit sector. The program was open to all nonprofits with a 501 (c)(3) status that have a facility with a minimum of 15 employees. The evaluation included a survey of each nominated organization’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. In addition, the evaluation included a much more heavily weighted anonymous employee survey to measure the employee experience.
Results were analyzed and categorized according to eight core focus areas: leadership and planning; corporate culture and communications; role satisfaction; work environment; relationship with supervisor; training, development, and resources; pay and benefits; and overall engagement. Organizations that made the list scored near 91% across all categories.
