Approximately 70,000 workers at U.S. companies with more than 500 employees were asked to rate their employers on a variety of criteria, including work environment, competitiveness of compensation, opportunities for advancement and openness to telecommuting. Employees also were asked how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others and to nominate organizations in industries outside their own.
