About the Methodology
The 2019 NAFE Top 70 Companies application includes more than 200
questions on topics including female representation at all levels, but
especially the corporate officer and profit-and-loss leadership ranks.
The application tracks and examines how many employees have access to
programs and policies that promote advancement of women and how many
employees take advantage of them, plus how companies train managers to
help women advance. To be considered, companies must have a minimum of
two women on their boards of directors, a U.S.-based CEO, and at least
1,000 U.S. employees.
