WHAT DOES THE TERM META-ANALYSIS MEAN FOR WORLD'S BEST EMPLOYERS?
According to the German Chemnitz University of Technology, a meta-analysis is the “summary of the current state of research on a question by statistical aggregation of empirical individual results of homogeneous primary studies“.
To obtain meaningful results, we rely on data from a variety of freely available sources. These are collected and rated in various ways to determine the WORLDS BEST EMPLOYER.
Our meta-analysis is based on subjective opinions and objective criteria, such as offers made by employers to employees which are publicly communicated.
THE PROCESS
In a multi-stage process, we identify the most attractive employers in the United States once a year from more than 284,000 employers in the United States, which we then award the “WORLD’S BEST EMPLOYER – UNITED STATES” seal of approval. Enclosed you will find the project phases within the scope of our study.
- Determination of the research question
- Collection of primary research
- Data collection, coding and evaluation
- Analysis phase
- Awarding and determination of the winners
FURTHER INFORMATION ON WORLD'S BEST EMPLOYERS
Further information on the methodology can also be found in our video “WORLD’S BEST EMPLOYERS”. Employers are assessed and can receive a total of 500 points as part of the assessment. These 500 points are distributed across the core areas we have defined in order to provide a holistic assessment of the attractiveness of employers.
