The Atlanta Business Chronicle, in partnership with Quantum
Workplace, surveyed the metro area's businesses and organizations
to identify those that have discovered how to be among Atlanta's
best places to work. More than 500 companies were nominated
in June. Employees at each individual organization were asked
to complete an online survey from early July through mid-August,
containing questions regarding their work environment, co-workers
and management teams. Quantum used analytical tools to rank
the top employers in three categories: the top 10 in the
large category (501 employees or more), the top 25 in the medium
category (101 to 500 employees) and the top 25 in the small
category (10 to 100 employees). A complete list of the 2009
"Best Places to Work" can be found in the Sept. 25 issue of the
