Many organizations participate in studies each year that evaluate their workplace policies and climate, in order to create lists of best places to work. These typically require the organization to complete a survey that outlines the ways in which it attracts, develops, and retains employees (sometimes for specific groups of workers, such as women, people with a shared ethnicity, people with disabilities, etc.) You may see these labeled as "Best Place to Work" lists, or "Top 10" workplaces for such-and-such, for example.

Conduct an online search for some of these lists, rankings, etc. You're welcome to choose a specific demographic (e.g. working mothers, LGBT people, military veterans) or search for something more broadly focused on the organizational climate overall. Consider the following questions:

Why would an organization choose to participate in such a list? What's the value in being featured on a list or ranking like this?
What does the application process look like? What kind of information does the organization have to provide?
Looking at a recent list of winners, what are some of the things that stand out as "best practices" for the organizations on the list?
