Participate in the Top 50 Companies Survey
The 2025 Top 50 competition is open until March 7, 2025. To prequalify your organization to take the survey, please complete this short form to receive an email with next steps.
Overview
The Top 50 is the only survey that offers a comprehensive overview of total workforce and top four levels of management across the dimensions of gender, ethnicity, orientation, age, disabilities and veteran status.
Beyond establishing the Top 50, the survey helps us rank top companies within specific industries such as utilities, hospitals and health systems and regional companies as well as noteworthy companies and past winners who are in the Hall of Fame. The data within the survey also yields an additional 15 lists focused on talent development, leadership accountability, executive representation of people of color and more.
Companies with more than 750 U.S. employees are eligible to take the survey. Participants, including companies that do business with Fair360 through our Benchmarking and Branding offerings, do not receive any preferential treatment. Companies cannot buy a spot on the Top 50 list or Specialty Lists. The Top 50 process is not pay-to-play.
Participation in the Top 50 survey is free and every participating company that completes its submission receives a free report card, assessing its performance versus all competitors in five key areas:
- Human Capital Metrics: Four levels of management, total management, total workforce, promotions, retention and new hires
- Organizational Structure: Board of Directors, CEO and Senior Leadership and Executive Diversity Councils
- Talent Programs: Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), high potential, mentorship and sponsorship programs
- Talent Acquisition, Development & Management: Talent acquisition, training and talent management
- Supplier Diversity: Spend with companies owned by people from underrepresented groups
