A recent ranking put together by the business magazine Fortune identified the 75 best large workplaces for women across the United States.

The selection criteria was centered around the extent to which organizations created an environment where workers trusted each other and felt like they could reach their maximum potential, as well as the level of gender fairness, employee inclusion, and equal experiences across gender and racial lines.

The bulk of this criteria was based on an anonymous 60-question survey that went out to more than 4.6 million U.S. employees.
