Glassdoor Announces Highest Rated CEOs for 2015, Employees' Choice Award Winners
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Google's Larry Page, NIKE's Mark Parker and H E B's Charles Butt Receive Top
Marks From Employees
MILL VALLEY, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2015) - Glassdoor, the world's most
transparent jobs and recruiting marketplace, has announced the winners of its
third annual Employees' Choice Awards for the Highest Rated CEOs for 2015.
Unlike any other workplace awards, the Employees' Choice Awards are based solely
on the input of employees who anonymously and voluntarily provide feedback via
the Glassdoor company review survey. The survey, open year-round to all
employees, encourages feedback on whether they approve or disapprove of how
their CEO is leading the company, along with insight into their job, work
environment and company.
This year, Glassdoor has expanded its Highest Rated CEOs awards program to
include five categories, honoring CEOs across the U.S., Canada, UK and Germany.
This year, there are two categories in the U.S.: 50 Highest Rated CEOs
(recognizing CEOs leading companies with 1,000 or more employees), and 25
Highest Rated CEOs at Small & Medium Companies (recognizing CEOs leading
companies with less than 1,000 employees):
* The top five Highest Rated CEOs in 2015 are: Google's Larry Page (No. 1, 97
percent approval), NIKE's Mark Parker (No. 2, 97 percent approval), H E B's
Charles Butt (No. 3, 96 percent approval), Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg (No.
4, 95 percent approval) and Ultimate Software's Scott Scherr (No. 5, 95
percent approval).
* The top five Highest Rated CEOs at Small & Medium Companies in 2015 are:
Evolent Health's Frank Williams (No. 1, 98 percent approval), WillowTree's
Tobias Dengel (No. 2, 98 percent approval), Lending Club's Renaud Laplanche
(No. 3, 98 percent approval), Penske Motor Group's Greg Penske (No. 4, 98
percent approval) and Best Version Media's David Durand (No. 5, 98 percent
approval).
"Gaining the trust and approval of an entire workforce is one of the most
difficult yet rewarding responsibilities for any leader," said Robert Hohman,
Glassdoor CEO and co-founder. "Winning a Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award is a
significant achievement for any CEO regardless of fame, fortune or company
size."
On Glassdoor's 2015 list of the 50 Highest Rated CEOs, the top CEOs represent
diverse industries, spanning tech, finance, manufacturing, travel and tourism,
retail and more. Google's Larry Page moves from No. 11 on last year's list with
93 percent approval to take top honors this year with 97 percent approval.
Conversely, last year's No. 1 CEO, LinkedIn's Jeff Weiner with 100 percent
approval, drops to No. 12 with 93 percent approval. Of the 50 CEOs, 20 of them
were honored on last year's list. Newcomers this year include Chevron's John
Watson (No. 16; 93 percent approval), Sephora's Calvin McDonald (No. 17; 93
percent approval) and Airbnb's Brian Chesky (No. 48; 89 percent approval), among
others.
On the 2015 list of the 25 Highest Rated CEOs at Small & Medium Companies, the
top three CEOs are all newcomers. Only three CEOs on last year's list made the
list this year.
Employees' Choice Award winners are determined using Glassdoor's proprietary
algorithm, and each CEO approval rating takes into account the quantity and
consistency of Glassdoor-approved company reviews shared by U.S.-based employees
between April 22, 2014 and April 21, 2015. At a minimum, CEOs considered for the
large companies list must have received at least 100 reviews, and CEOs on the
small & medium companies list must have received at least 35 reviews,
respectively, during the eligibility period. For reporting simplicity, CEO
approval ratings are rounded to the nearest whole number, though calculations
extend beyond the thousandth to determine rank. Complete report methodology can
