    How companies qualify

    One framework. Every list.

    Every Most Loved Workplace® list — including the Women list — is built from the Love of Workplace Index® (LOWI®). A minimum of 33% of employees (or 1,000 for companies with 3,000+ headcount) completes the Pulse Validation. BPI's machine-learning comment analysis surfaces cohort-specific patterns, and certified peers form the benchmark.
