DES MOINES, Iowa, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation
(NYSE: MDP;
www.meredith.com) has been included on the
Forbes list of America's Best Employers for 2021. This prestigious
award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading
statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list
was announced this morning and can be viewed on the Forbes
website.
"Our employees are hands down the best in the media business and
make Meredith the outstanding company that it is today," said
Meredith Chairman and CEO Tom Harty.
"During an unprecedented time, they have remained resilient and
passionate about ensuring that the same quality of inspirational
and relevant content is delivered to millions of Americans. In
turn, we foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment,
promote career development, and provide industry-leading benefits.
Our employees also drive our continuing focus on social
responsibility, including diversity and inclusion, environmental
sustainability, and giving back to the communities where we live
and work. On behalf of our 5,000 Meredith employees, I am honored
to be recognized by Forbes and Statista as one of America's Best
Employers."
Forbes and Statista selected the America's Best Employers
for 2021 through an independent survey applied to a vast sample of
more than 50,000 American employees working for companies with more
than 1,000 employees in America. Across 25 industry sectors, 1,000
employers have been awarded the Best Employer designation – 500
large employers and 500 midsize employers. The evaluation was based
on direct and indirect recommendations from employees who were
asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to
friends and family. Employee evaluations also included other
employers that stood out either positively or negatively within
specific industries.
According to Douglas Lopenzina,
Vice President, Content Licensing and Syndication at Forbes Media,
"Forbes paused our annual Best Employers ranking last year as the
world focused on the pandemic, but we are pleased to relaunch this
important ranking for 2021, recognizing American employers who rose
to the challenge, kept their workforce safe and pivoted their
business in service to the public."
