Forbes names 32 NJ firms to Best Employers list
Dawn Furnas//August 29, 2024//
Listen to this articleAlthough more employees intend to stay in their jobs this year compared with last year, according to a Robert Half study, companies still face challenges retaining their top talent.
That’s according to Forbes, which recently released its Best Employers By State 2024 list to highlight the employers that are keeping their workers satisfied.
Of the 1,294 organizations that made the list, 32 are based in New Jersey — and three of those cracked the top 10. All of the included Garden State companies landed in the top 100.
To determine the rankings, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 160,000 employees working for U.S. companies with at least 500 people. Employees were asked questions such as how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10 and how they’d evaluate employers they’d worked for within the past two years.
Forbes and Statista also factored in data from the past three years, with greater weight given to the most recent responses. Companies paid no fee to participate or to be selected, the publication emphasized.
