The Project
The ranking for World’s Top Companies For Women 2023 is based on independent surveys of women employees around the world. Surveys were conducted in 37 countries using online access panels to gather reviews independently of the employers themselves. The results are also based on an additional women-only public opinion survey that measured how women perceive companies in terms of gender equality, as well as an objective leadership score (i.e., presence of women on board/executive committees).

Scoring
Our scoring model is based on independently collected survey data from 37 countries around the world. This data is divided into several assessment dimensions.
Methodology

Concept
The employee surveys conducted by Statista R are carried out independently of the potentially awarded employer brands. This reduces distortion of the results that could arise from non-anonymous surveys (e.g. social desirability in response behavior). The focus on willingness to recommend and on general questions about working conditions allows for comparability across heterogeneous sectors.
Data Collection
For data collection, Statista R programs detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. Statista R works with leading online access panels worldwide to identify suitable participants. During the survey, the incoming evaluations are checked for quality & validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
Evaluation
For the evaluation, Statista R applies a scoring model that primarily relies on the direct and indirect evaluation of the respondents. This includes both the evaluation of the respondent’s own employer as well as the evaluation of other employers from the same industry.
Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer brand, the number of employees and the headquarters in the respective country are researched. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
