For the first time, the job search platform and employer reviews, Glassdoor, unveiled the best companies to work for in Argentina.

This year the Glassdoor landing officially took place in the local market. There, users were leaving recommendations, comments and evaluations of salaries for different positions in different companies operating in the country.

It was thanks to this that Glassdoor was able to prepare an independent ranking of the "most loved" companies by Argentine workers, which was accessed in advance by iProfessional. The company released the rankings for only nine countries worldwide this Wednesday, simultaneously.

This is a "Best Companies for Work Award - Chosen by Professionals". This means that, unlike other awards to organizations and workplaces, Glassdoor is based on the contribution of employees, who voluntarily provide the company where they work confidential comments.

"This new year will mark the beginning of a decade of culture first, where culture in the workplace acquires an increasingly relevant place. Winners are companies that put people, organizational culture and the company's mission, at the center of everything they do, and that’s why their employees recognize them as the Best Companies to Work for in 2020.

This year's winners stand out for promoting transparency, offering opportunities for professional growth and valuing work motivated by impact and purpose. Congratulations to all companies that have been genuinely recognized by their employees in this edition."

Christian Sutherland-Wong, President, Chief Operating Officer, Future CEO, Glassdoor

In Europe, the rankings include 50 firms in the United Kingdom, 25 in France and 25 in Germany. The ninth list is in Asia, with the 10 Best Companies to Work for in Singapore.

Winners are classified according to the results obtained during the past year. Grades vary from 1 to 5, 1 being very dissatisfied and 5 very satisfied. Actual calculations extend beyond the thousandth.

When evaluating a company in Glassdoor, users rate their overall satisfaction, taking into account criteria such as professional opportunities, compensation and benefits, quality of life, leadership, culture and values. In addition, they share their views on the pros and cons of the workplace and leave advice to the presidency. Professionals are also asked if they would recommend their employer to a friend and if they believe the business outlook for the next six months is positive, negative or if they do not have an opinion formed. Among the more than one million qualified companies in Glassdoor, the average score is 3.5.

"People are deeply concerned about where they work, and studies show that companies with strong culture not only have a clear competitive advantage to attract talent, but are often ahead of their competitors in terms of financial performance. Today, leaders cannot ignore the data that show that culture is one of the smartest investments companies can make in the long term," said Andrew Chamberlain, Chief Economist at Glassdoor.

The winners of the best places to work in 2020 were determined using a patented Glassdoor algorithm, and the qualification of each company takes into account the quantity, quality and consistency of the Glassdoor approved evaluations sent by employees based in Argentina, between the October 23, 2018 and October 21, 2019.

During the one-year period, the companies considered in the list must have received at least 20 evaluations for each of the six attributes (general satisfaction of the company, career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, quality of life and recommendation to a friend) taken into account as part of the algorithm. For this edition, companies with 1000 employees or more worldwide were considered.
