Sarah Bush Lincoln recently received a top 10 ranking of the best employers in Illinois, in a study conducted by Forbes and Statista.
SBL ranked 10th out of 100 Illinois employers that were rated, and is one of two companies in the top 10 based in Illinois.
“We are extremely pleased to be ranked in the top 10 of the best employers in Illinois,” SBL President and CEO Kim Uphoff said. “We are honored to be rated so well alongside such reputable companies.”
To create the seventh annual list, Forbes and Statista surveyed more than 160,000 employees who work for a company of at least 500 people, creating a ranking for all 50 states. Survey responses, along with survey data from the past three years, were used to create the list.
The final score is based on two types of employee evaluations: Personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry).
“At SBL, we pride ourselves on our culture and the concerted effort to create a welcoming and positive attitude for our employees,” SBL Vice President of Human Resources Debbie Saddoris said. “This ranking supports our goals as an organization and shows potential employees that they can succeed with us.”
The top 10 list of Illinois includes, in order: Southwest Airlines; Apple; Google; Fidelity Investments; University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority; Costco Wholesale; Salesforce; Silver Cross Hospital; IBM; and Sarah Bush Lincoln.
