It’s already an impressive accomplishment to be recognized on Forbes’ Best-in-State Employers list, but gaining this recognition five years in a row is a feat of its own. Publix has earned its spot on this list for the fifth consecutive time, demonstrating its strength when it comes to workforce strategies.
“For more than 90 years, we’ve cultivated a culture of valuing our associates and the contributions they make to our company and the communities we serve,” said Publix’s Director of Communications Maria Brous. “We’re proud of how they continue to embody and perpetuate that culture every day to make Publix a great place to work. It’s an honor to be recognized by our associates and other respondents as a best-in-state employer.”
This year, Publix ranked No. 12 in Alabama, No. 16 in Florida, No. 12 in Georgia, No. 30 in North Carolina, No. 4 in South Carolina, and No. 13 in Tennessee. Ranking on Forbes’ Best-in-State Employers list is determined by an independent survey of more than 70,000 United States employees working for businesses with at least 500 employees, a press release explained; the survey includes questions about working conditions, salary, potential for growth, and diversity. Employees were also asked how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others.
