About the Award
Forbes’ list of America’s Best Midsize Employers was determined by
independently surveying more than 50,000 employees in 25 different
industries working for companies with at least 1,000 people employed in
U.S. locations. Survey respondents were asked how likely they would be
to recommend their employer to friends or family, as well as if they
would recommend other employers in their industry. Other factors
included workforce diversity, compensation and opportunities for
advancement.
