Fortune’s 2020 list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For is out, and accounting firms are again among them. All four of the Big Four firms are in the top 50, as is Plante Moran.
This is the largest annual ongoing workforce study in America, covering over four million employees. Companies must have over 1,000 employees and apply to Great Place to Work, which conducts the confidential employee surveys and evaluates the applicants’ policies and programs.
The ranking results primarily from an evaluation of employee survey questions. It is driven 85 percent by employee reports of their experiences with reaching their full potential and trust and 15 percent by their assessment of effective leadership, ability to contribute new ideas, and company values.
