To identify the 100 Best Companies to Work For®, each year FORTUNE
partners with Great Place to Work® to conduct the most extensive
employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company’s survey
score is based on the results of the Trust Index © Employee Survey,
which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. This
survey asks questions related to employees’ attitudes about management’s
credibility, overall job satisfaction and camaraderie. The other third
is based on responses to the Culture Audit ©, which includes detailed
questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended
questions about hiring practices, methods of internal communication,
training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.
CarMax’s well-established, team-oriented culture
is also recognized each year for additional national and local awards as
an employer of choice and great company to work for. CarMax has been
named on Fortune magazine’s “50 Best Workplaces for Diversity,” and “20
Best Workplaces in Retail,” as well as one of Training magazine's
“Training Top 125” companies in America.
