DEARBORN, Mich. -- (Business Wire)
Ford Motor Company has been honored with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice
Award, recognizing the 50 Best Places to Work for 2015. The Glassdoor
award program aims to recognize the best places to work in the United
States based entirely on employee feedback, providing a transparent look
at companies.
Ford ranks 35 out of 50 Best Places to Work in the United States among
employers with 1,000 employees or more, and is the highest-rated
automotive company. Work/life balance, competitive pay and benefits, and
the opportunity for internal movement were cited among reasons to work
for Ford.
“Our employees are our best ambassadors, and Ford being honored as a
Glassdoor Best Places to Work is truly a pride point,” said Felicia
Fields, Ford group vice president, Human Resources and Corporate
Services. “At Ford, we focus on creating the right environment for
people to learn and grow, and this award confirms we are doing the right
things to attract, develop and engage employees. Ford truly has exciting
products, incredible technologies and a fantastic team.”
The Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award program relies solely on the input
of employees who elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work
environments and companies via Glassdoor’s anonymous online company
reviews survey.
The survey includes both quantitative and qualitative questions designed
to capture a genuine inside look at what it is like to work at
particular jobs and companies. The survey asks employees to rate their
satisfaction with the company overall, and key workplace factors like
career opportunities, compensation, benefits, work/life balance, senior
management, culture and values. In addition, employees are asked to
describe the best reasons to work at their companies, as well as any
downsides.
This is not Ford’s first appearance on the list; in 2011, the company
was named No. 42 on the 50 Best Places to Work in the United States
list. For 2015, Ford moved up seven places.
“I am proud to celebrate the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award winners
in earning this tremendous achievement,” said Glassdoor cofounder and
CEO Robert Hohman. “Millions of employees around the world are turning
to Glassdoor each month to share their work experiences. It is this type
of authentic feedback that helps others find jobs and companies they
love, and allows us to honor employers who stand out for their efforts
in providing an enjoyable work environment and culture.”
The Best Places to Work are determined using company reviews shared by
U.S.-based employees who participated in the survey between Nov. 13,
2013 and Nov. 2, 2014. To be considered for the large company category,
a company must have at least 1,000 employees and have received at least
50 company reviews during the window of eligibility. The final list is
compiled based on Glassdoor’s proprietary algorithm, and takes into
account quantity, quality and consistency of reviews.
