Our third annual 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon project celebrates great workplaces in the nonprofit sector. Nearly 5,500 employees from 170 nonprofits statewide participated in this year’s survey. The nonprofit project is based on Oregon Business’ 19-year-old widely recognized 100 Best Companies project. There was no cost to enter the survey and any organization registered with the state as a nonprofit or not-for-profit group was eligible. Oregon Business research editor Brandon Sawyer along with research partner DHM Research and The Nonprofit Association of Oregon helped develop the survey and complete the results.

Our annual ranking of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon turns 18 this year with nearly 14,000 employees participating. Oregon Business research editor Brandon Sawyer and DHM Research calculated the rankings based on employee surveys and a benefits report from each company. The size category is based on the number of Oregon employees.

For the second year in a row, the October issue of Oregon Business magazine features our 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For List. Almost 5,000 nonprofit employees from more than 150 organizations around the state participated in the second annual 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon survey, and they had a lot to say about what it takes to be a great place to work.

For the second year in a row, the June issue of Oregon Business magazine features our 100 Best Green Companies to Work For List, profiles some of the 100 Best Green Companies and covers other topics related to sustainability

There were nearly 20,000 employees from 303 companies who participated in our 17th annual 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon survey. It might not have been the best year for business, with a bad economy hanging on, but you wouldn’t know it by how our 2010 winners treated their employees. What makes a great place to work? Robust health care plans were important to being a Best Company. This group offers substantial premium offsets and a surprisingly high number of alternative care and wellness plans. It’s also about inspired leadership, collaboration and caring, along with a healthy dose of fun. Congratulations to the class of 2010!
