The 2020 Best CEOs list comprises the Top 50 highest-rated leaders and based on anonymous feedback from employees directly on Comparably.com in the last 12 months. The ratings were given a numerical score and then compared to companies of similar size to OWC across the U.S. Additional weight was given to companies with more ratings from their employee base. The final data set was compiled from 10 million ratings across 60,000 U.S. organizations on Comparably.com.
“This is the fourth year that we have published our Best CEOs ranking, and each year it gets more challenging to make the list. The top-rated CEOs understand that investing just as much in the happiness and well-being of employees as they do in the growth of their business is a successful formula. The recognition that Larry is receiving is a testament to his strong leadership at OWC.”
