FedEx has once again been named to FORTUNE magazine’s list of the “100 Best Companies to WorkFor” in the United States, based on employee and company responses.
The company, which is ranked 98th overall, has made the prestigious list in 11 of the past 14years and was named to the Best Companies to Work For Hall of Fame in 2005. The company also hasbeen consistently ranked in FORTUNE’s Global Most Admired Companies and America’s Most AdmiredCompanies lists since 2002 and 2001, respectively.
“This recognition is made possible by the spirit and dedication of FedEx’s more than 300,000hard-working team members around the world,” said Frederick W. Smith, chairman and CEO of FedExCorp. “We are pleased to be recognised by FORTUNE magazine as an employer of choice, and all of usare committed to continuing our history of service to our customers and our communities.”
To select the 100 Best Companies, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute toconduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company’s score isbased on the results of the Institute’s Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample ofemployees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about themanagement’s credibility, job satisfaction and camaraderie.
The other third of the scoring is based on the company’s responses to the Institute’s CultureAudit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programmes and a series ofopen-ended questions about hiring, communication and diversity.
