FORTUNE cited one of the reasons Whole Foods Market again made the list is our equitable pay structure, noting that we cap salaries of executives at 19 times the average full-time salary. We also made FORTUNE's "Most Diverse" list — with a workforce made up of 44% women and 43% minorities — along with the "Best Perks" list for offering gym membership discounts, compressed workweeks and gay-friendly policies and benefits. Offering Team Members 100% paid health care premiums landed us on a list of companies with the best health care benefits. We are one of only 13 companies that have made the list every year since its inception in 1998.
