Download the 2010 OC BEST PLACES TO WORK List (pdf)
The Business Journal’s Best Places to Work is the result of months of surveying workers and management at nearly 100 local employers.
The final list of 45 represents those that scored highest on a proprietary ranking done for the Business Journal by Harrisburg, Pa.-based Best Companies Group, which produces similar lists for publications across the country.
The ranking is based on an employer questionnaire that details policies, practices and benefits and an employee engagement and satisfaction survey about culture, training, pay and benefits and other areas.
Just about all types of employers in the county were eligible: locally based companies, subsidiaries of companies based elsewhere, professional services firms, banks, government agencies, nonprofits, hospitals and universities.
Employers had to have had at least 15 workers to be considered and have been in business for at least a year.
