Methology: Glassdoor, the world’s most transparent jobs and recruiting marketplace, has announced the winners of its annual Employees’ Choice Awards honoring the highest rated CEOs in 2016 across North America and parts of Europe. Unlike any other workplace awards, the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards are based solely on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback, by completing a company review, on whether they approve or disapprove of their CEO, along with insight into their job, work environment and employer over the past year.
