Employees at each of the businesses were surveyed, and their responses were ranked by an independent third party, Quantum Workplace. Companies were then scored in areas such as senior leadership, team effectiveness, work recognition and benefits. The finalist companies are those that rated highest in one of five size categories.
This month, Fast Company Named Ascendum Solutions a Top Workplace for Innovators.
