A survey was done for nearly 40,000 individuals in the general labour market, both for members of VR and other employees of those companies that guaranteed all employees the right to participate, regardless of trade union membership. More than eleven thousand employees answered the survey. Only companies that guaranteed all employees the right to participate were considered in the selection for the title of Company of the Year or Model Company, but these are the companies that are in the top fifteen in the three size categories.
