"Creating an entrepreneurial culture is a key priority for business leaders, yet no one until now has really assessed the role culture plays in success," says Ray Hennessey, editorial director of Entrepreneur.com. "This ranking celebrates the dedication that all teams, from entry-level to the C-suite, have in ensuring they are creating vibrant, healthy and sustainable work environments. That's good for employees, investors and customers."

Core insights from top-performing company cultures

The full list, presenting a total of 75 companies categorized as small, medium or large enterprises, is available on http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/252287. The core insights, behaviors and attributes that helped shape these high-performing cultures are shared alongside practices to help other companies work on their own workplace environments.

Strong cultures come in all shapes and sizes

"There is always an opportunity to learn from each other when running and growing a business, which is why we are excited to honor these companies and share their success in building an effective culture," says Greg Besner, founder and CEO of CultureIQ, the culture management software and service provider that created the contest with Entrepreneur.

"I find it particularly inspiring to see a wide variety of companies represented in the list, confirming that you can have a strong culture regardless of industry, size, or business maturity." 

How the rankings were created

Employees at each company received a survey of 21 short, multiple-choice questions. The answers were used to assess a company's strength across 10 core qualities of culture. 

These scores were combined with the employee Net Promoter Score to create a CultureIQ Score. The companies with the highest CultureIQ Scores became the Top Company Culture list in ranking order.
