DiversityMBA’s methodology consists of a multi-tiered process:

1. Registration of participating organizations,
2. Completion of our survey,
3. Rating of participants with the highest scores, and
4. Secondary research to determine the Top 50.

While more than 650 companies registered to participate in the survey, only 359 qualified for the competitive rating to qualify for selection. Companies are selected based on scores for representation, board diversity, recruitment, workplace inclusion, retention, succession planning and accountability.
