Employees are also asked to rate how satisfied they are with their employer overall, rate their CEO, as well as rate five key workplace attributes, including career opportunities, compensation & benefits, culture & values, senior management and work-life balance. In addition, employees are asked whether they would recommend their employer to a friend and what their opinion is of the employer–s business outlook in the next six months.

Employees– Choice Award winners for the 2016 UK Best Places to Work are determined using Glassdoor–s proprietary algorithm, taking into account the quantity, quality and consistency of Glassdoor-approved company reviews shared by UK-based employees between 3rd November, 2014 and 1st November, 2015.
