How we chose this year’s honorees
Computerworld publisher Foundry conducted its 30th annual survey to identify the best places to work for IT professionals. In April 2023, Computerworld started accepting nominations from organizations with at least 100 total employees and five IT employees.
Participants were asked to provide contact information for a person at their organization who was familiar with or had access to employment statistics and financial data as well as benefits policies and programs for the IT department and the entire organization.
Beginning in mid-April 2023, contacts at the nominated organizations received a 58-question company survey across six categories:
- DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) practices
- IT turnover, promotions, and growth
- IT retention and engagement programs
- Remote/hybrid work
- Benefits and perks (such as eldercare and childcare, flextime, and reimbursement for college tuition)
- Training and career development opportunities
Besides receiving scores based on answers to closed-ended questions, the survey entries (including numerous open-ended responses) were reviewed and evaluated by a panel of industry experts.
The nomination and company surveys were conducted online. Responses to the company survey were collected and tabulated by a third-party research vendor. The research was completed in July 2023.
Top 10 lists
Our top 10 lists show the best of the best: the organizations that excel in each of the six categories covered. To determine each list, we considered the following factors:
- DEI: DEI strategies and practices; the existence of a dedicated role or roles promoting workplace diversity; inclusion of women and minority groups within the IT workforce and IT management; leadership accountability for DEI; DEI training opportunities
- Employee retention and engagement: Frequency of employee satisfaction surveys; promotions; salary increases; actions taken to boost employee morale
- Remote/hybrid work: Employee work location autonomy; percentage of remote and hybrid employees; policies regarding flexible work; actions taken to support flexible work; actions taken to ensure employee safety and well-being
- Benefits: The range of benefits and perks offered, including sabbaticals, eldercare and childcare, paid time off, and (within the US) family leave and healthcare benefits
- IT career development and training: Mentoring programs; training budget; promotions within IT; accessibility of training to remote employees; unique training programs
- IT growth: Changes in IT head count over the past three years; IT turnover and anticipated growth; new skills for which companies are planning to hire this year; outsourcing plans; the company’s revenue growth over the past three years
In scoring the responses from the company surveys, results were weighted against averages and benchmarks calculated within each company size group.
The survey process was managed by Jen Garofalo, research director in Foundry’s Global Services group, working with independent firm Research Results, Inc.
