PECO comes out on top in national survey
PECO has been named Philadelphia’s best midsize employer in a
new ranking from Forbes magazine’s “America’s Best Employers 2017”
list. The second year in a row recognized by Forbes, the ranking
represents PECO’s ongoing efforts to provide a rewarding workplace
for more than 2,500 employees from the Greater Philadelphia
area.
“At PECO, we foster a culture of teamwork and inclusion and to
empower our employees, which results in better service for our
customers and the communities we serve,” said Craig Adams, PECO
president and CEO. “This recognition is a great testament to the
commitment of every employee in making PECO an enjoyable and
rewarding place to work.”
PECO is dedicated to providing its employees with the most
rewarding work experience possible, helping people not just fill
jobs, but create careers. The company is proud of its commitment to
building an organization that resembles the communities it serves.
PECO also supports nine different employee initiated resource
groups, promoting diversity and inclusion and meaningful
initiatives across the company.
PECO’s employees are dedicated to more than the company, they
are committed to the region where they live and work. In 2016,
employees set a new company record, dedicating more time and energy
to local nonprofit organizations than ever before. Last year, PECO
employees logged nearly 22,000 volunteer hours at more than 150
local nonprofits. PECO also provided more than $6 million in
support to local community and nonprofit organizations, and has
been recognized year-after-year as one of the region’s most
impactful corporate citizens.
PECO’s parent company, Exelon, has taken major actions in the
past year to support a culture of innovation and opportunity for
employees. Exelon became the first utility company to sign the
White House’s Equal Pay Pledge, and announced expanded family leave
policies to provide paid time off for employees following the birth
or adoption of a child, or when a family member is critically ill.
Forbes named Exelon to its inaugural “Most Just” companies list,
and the company has been recognized nationally by organizations
that strive for equality and support for people with disabilities,
LGBTQ, veterans and active military, youth, and more.
The Forbes “America’s Best Employers 2017” list is compiled from
anonymous rankings by more than 30,000 employees.
