How It Was Decided

• Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity
• Be a publicly or privately-held business
• Have a facility in the state of Oklahoma
• Have at least 25 employees working in Oklahoma
• Be in business a minimum of one year

Organizations from across Oklahoma opted into a two-part survey process to determine the “Best Places to Work in Oklahoma.” The first part of the process evaluated each company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey that measured employee experience. The combined scores determined the top organizations and the final rankings.
