UPS Named One Of America’s Best Employers
May 10 2017 - 10:00AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) was named to the Forbes “Best Employers” list for
the third consecutive year. The magazine enlists a third-party
survey team from Statista, a research and statistics firm, to query
30,000 respondents from U.S.-based companies with more than 1,000
employees across 25 industry sectors. The survey asks 35 questions
with the greatest weight given to the question, “How likely is it
that you would recommend your employer to a friend or family
member?”
UPS employs 352,000 people in the U.S. and 434,000 globally. For
this survey, employees were contacted anonymously online and
without the involvement of their employer. “Third-party surveys and
awards are always welcome, but they take on even greater importance
when your own people rate you highly,” said Teri McClure, UPS Chief
Human Resources Officer and Senior Vice President, Labor. “The
survey results are recognition that we offer careers with
industry-leading pay and benefits, tuition assistance and
promotion-from-within opportunities across the organization.”
The complete rankings of all 500 companies appear in the May
issue of Forbes.
In addition to the Forbes award, UPS in 2017 was also recognized
as one of the world’s most ethical companies for the eleventh
consecutive year by the Ethisphere Institute. In 2016 UPS received
a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index, a survey designed
by the Human Rights Campaign, which highlights UPS as a “Best Place
to Work for LGBT Equality.” The company was also recognized as one
of the “Most Community-Minded Companies in the U.S” on the 2016
Civic 50 list by Points of Light for, among other things, its
commitment to hiring veterans.
