CultureX conducted a rigorous large-scale research project to measure corporate culture in top companies, using a data set of 1.4 million employee reviews from Glassdoor.
A vibrant culture can not only keep employees happy — it can also be the difference between financial success and failure. For decades, corporate culture has been notoriously difficult to measure in a scientific and meaningful way — until now.
Over a three-year period, the Culture 500 research team developed an AI-powered system for measuring culture using natural language processing to analyze text responses from actual employees. This human-machine approach allows us to create a more precise and accurate picture of culture that moves beyond the anecdotes and personal observations that managers often rely on to understand their own organizations.
The research demonstrates how no two corporate cultures are exactly alike and how cultural values vary drastically across companies and industries. Using the Culture 500, leaders can now benchmark their organizations against direct competitors and best-in-class organizations and identify areas of strength or opportunities to improve their cultures.
