In the VR survey on the Company of the Year, employees are asked about their attitudes towards nine key factors in the internal work environment of companies. Each key factor is given a rating from one to five, and together they form an overall score, both for the companies that appear on the lists and the overall score for all respondents in the survey. The weight of the factors in the overall score varies, with company management carrying the most weight (see discussion on methology).
The Nine Key Factors
Management
Do employees feel that the workplace is well-managed and do they trust their superiors?
Morale

Salary and Benefits

Working Conditions
Safety, technology, lighting, acoustics, dining and coffee facilities, etc.
Flexibility at Work
Room to take time off, run errands, and balance work and family life.
Independence at Work
Initiative at work, overview, goals, and self-confidence.

Employees' perception of the general discussion about the company.
Job Satisfaction and Pride
Are employees proud of their workplace and do they feel good at work?
Equity

The overall score reflects employees' general attitudes towards their workplaces, the average of all nine factors listed above. The overall score in the table below is independent of the size of the companies and is based on the responses of all those who participated in the survey, regardless of whether the respondents' companies made it onto the company lists.
