Forbes ranks employers in its annual list based on data from independent surveys of 150,000 full-time and part-time workers at major companies from 57 countries. The respondents to the anonymous surveys conducted by market research firm Statista were asked to evaluate their employers on a range of topics such as talent development, economic impact and image, gender equality, and social responsibility.

During the pandemic, Delta delivered unprecedented support to protect employees’ health and well-being. This included administering more than 1 million free COVID tests, protecting pay for those with COVID-19, and executing a vaccination program that resulted in nearly all Delta people being vaccinated without a mandate – all while not furloughing a single employee. Mental well-being support was also expanded for Delta people and their loved ones by offering 12 free sessions per issue, per household member per year.
