NEWSWEEK AND PLANT-A
insights Group are partnering for the second year to determine America’s Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2024 recognizing the greatest workplaces in the United States by their performance on a range of relevant metrics from the perspective of job starters.
The methodology for this ranking is based on a five-stage evaluation.
The first phase was a pre-study survey that interviewed HR professionals to identify current and future employee satisfaction drivers.
The second phase was the main employee survey among employees with up to 5 years working experience who reviewed employers they were familiar with. The independent study is based on more than 75,000 Job Starters who provided more than 540,000 company reviews collected in 2022 and 2023.
The third phase was an elaborate desk research project in which we collected overall 8 KPIs relevant for job starters in the workplace (e.g., reviews and information from social media platforms overall and with respect to career opportunities and a culture and management that fosters their career development).
In the fourth phase, we applied media monitoring, reviewing all published press of the past 24 months (December 9, 2021 – December 10, 2023) of all recognized companies to identify potential legal disputes around the workplace.
The fifth step was the validation step. We calculated an individual company score based on our scoring model. The best companies in the tiers of 5,000+ employees, 1,000 to 4,999 employees and 500 to 999 employees have been recognized as “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2024.”
The desk research was kindly supported by Onclusive, the leading media monitoring partner with its world-class sentiment technology. For company-related information, we worked with privCo, a service that tracks private company financial information in a proprietary database. Additional resources for company data were ZoomInfo and Seamless AI.
This work is based on primary and secondary market research and analysis of publicly available data or provided to plant-A i
