The Methodology of Computerworld’s Best Places to Work in IT 2010:
\u2022 Computerworld surveyed more than 500 nominated companies, asking about the organizations’ average salary and bonus increases, percentage of IT staffers promoted, IT staff turnover rates, training and development, and the percentage of women and minorities in IT staff and management positions. In addition, information was collected on retention efforts, programs for recognizing and rewarding outstanding performances, and benefits such as flextime, elder care and child care, and reimbursement for college tuition and the cost of pursuing technology certifications.
\u2022 In addition, 29,308 IT employees responded to the employee survey from the final 100 companies, covering topics including satisfaction with training and development programs, compensation, benefits and work\/life balance. In addition, employees were asked to rate employee morale in their IT departments, the importance of various benefits, and their agreement with a variety of statements on subjects ranging from career growth to management’s fair and equal treatment of employees.
