BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR
America's Top Employers
It's not easy being good these days, at least if you're an employer. Suffering through the recession, American businesses have cut back on everything, which means they've slashed perks and fired lots of workers. In this dark time of cuts and layoffs, what makes a company fit for FORTUNE's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For? We gave companies credit for coming up with creative ways to keep employees satisfied, and for offering generous severance and compassion when they had to make cuts. These companies also rose to the occasion following the tragedy of Sept.11, and that is what being one of 100 Best is all about.
| Number of employees includes part-time employees; data as of Dec.1, 2001. FORTUNE's usual summer-to-summer calculations for employee growth and turnover were extended to 17 months to capture layoffs after September 11. |
