The following list showcases organizations with best-in-class workplace practices, based on surveys sent to employees themselves. Some of the organizations on this list are being honored for the first time, where others are repeat honorees. Scores are out of a total of 700. Employees rate their satisfaction with five features of the workplace: work environment; management and communications; mission and goals; career development and learning; and benefits and compensation. Participating nonprofits are also independently scored on their employee benefits. You can find more information about our methodology on OregonBusiness.com. When we review survey comments from employees, factors like great benefits and fair compensation come up again and again, along with the opportunity to work for a cause that matters to them. But employees also mention factors like mental health benefits or the ability to take mental health days as well as flexible scheduling that allows them to put their families first. Congratulations to all the nonprofits that made it into the list this year. The OB Team LARGE ORGANIZATIONS 50 or more Oregon employees 2023
