For the round-up, the business magazine surveyed more than 4.6 million U.S. employees at companies with more than 1,000 workers. The 60-question survey focused on the participant’s workplace experiences compared to men, their daily opportunities for growth and innovation and the effectiveness of their leaders.

About 15% of the ranking was based on how well women were represented in the workforce and throughout management. To be considered, companies needed to employ at least 50 women, with 20% of the women serving in non-executive manager roles and at least one serving as an executive.

The first Georgia-based company on the list at No. 21 was Insight Global, a staffing and recruitment corporation headquarted in Atlanta. Of its 2,923 employees, 69% of them are women. Although there are no women in management or executive positions, one employee wrote, “I love the amount of strong women leaders we have.”

Alston & Bird, also based in Atlanta, was No. 36. About 51% of the 1,610 employees at the law firm are women, and 50% of their women employees are managers.
