best place for job growth in the U.S. The full list and related
stories appear in the February 8 issue of FORTUNE, available on
newsstands on Monday, January 25, and now at
http://www.fortune.com/bestcompanies. Comments on the news -- "When
we founded salesforce.com, we set out to bring about 'The End of
Software' and realized that it'd only be possible by recruiting and
hiring the best talent," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO,
salesforce.com. "We continue to reach for that goal every day by
investing in our unique corporate culture, integrated philanthropy
model and breakthrough technology." -- "Placing on this list is a
testament to each and every employee," said Erin Flynn, senior vice
president of employee success, salesforce.com. "We have built a
culture in which employees can accomplish the best work of their
careers and be rewarded for exceptional results." -- "Working for
the cloud computing industry leader creates all kinds of
opportunity for employees to innovate since challenging the status
quo is built into the company's DNA," said Arvind Seshan, senior
development manager, salesforce.com. "Through the company's unique
culture and the Salesforce.com Foundation, employees enjoy a wealth
of options to work on breakthrough technology, creative projects
and have active roles in local communities and philanthropy." --
FORTUNE Deputy Managing Editor Hank Gilman says, "The most
important considerations for this year's list were hiring and the
ways in which companies are helping their employees weather the
recession. All 100 companies on our list are currently hiring, many
of the aggressively, leading to more than 96,000 open job positions
expected in the next year." In only its second year on this coveted
list, salesforce.com's improved placement is a significant
accomplishment. Of the eligible companies, only those organizations
that show continuous improvements ascend. Salesforce.com has led
the industry with employment benefits such as coverage for domestic
partners and wellness programs. In addition, salesforce.com's
progressive wellness offerings include meal service for new
parents, paternity leave, and adoption assistance. The company has
created its vibrant corporate culture over the last decade through
its integrated philanthropy model and the Salesforce.com Foundation
that empowers employees to take up to six days of paid time off to
volunteer - generating more than 174,000 hours of service since the
program's inception. The combination of the rewarding work and rich
benefits continue to fuel the company's success as nearly 40
percent of all hires are made through the employee referral
program. To pick the 100 Best Companies, FORTUNE partners with the
Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive
employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company's
score is based on the results of the Institute's Trust Index
survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each
company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about
the management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie.
The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses
to the Institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions
about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions
about hiring, communication, and diversity. Additional resources --
