About the Forbes Best Employers for Diversity List Methodology

The prestigious recognition is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc, a portal and industry ranking provider. The Best Employers for Diversity were selected based on more than 50,000 independent surveys of U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people. Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding age, gender, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQA+, and general diversity in their current workplace. The recommendations of women, elders, and ethnic minorities were weighted higher than the non-minority groups. In addition, the evaluation considered diversity among top executives and Boards as well as diversity engagement indicators. Participants from minority groups also had the opportunity to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity.
