Publix Recognized as one of FORTUNE's 100 Best Companies to Work For
LAKELAND, Fla., Jan. 22, 2009 – For the 12th consecutive year, Publix has been honored as one of FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Publix was ranked No. 88 on this year’s list and was one of only 13 companies to have made the list every year since its inception in 1998.
Publix also ranked No. 32 on FORTUNE’s Best Large-Sized Company list. On FORTUNE’s Big Pay list, Publix ranked No. 31 for salaried employees and No. 78 for hourly employees.
“Each of our associates helps make Publix a great place to work. I couldn’t be more proud to work here with so many great associates,” said Publix CEO Ed Crenshaw.
According to FORTUNE, a driving factor for the companies on this year’s list is that they excel at creating jobs. More than 81,000 employees from 353 companies responded to the 57-question survey created by the Institute. Two-thirds of a company’s score is based on the survey, which is sent to a minimum of 400 randomly selected employees. The remaining third is based on a company’s responses to the Culture Audit questionnaire, which asks detailed questions about demographics, pay and benefits, and open-ended questions on philosophy, communication and more.
The story will appear in the Feb. 2, 2009, issue of FORTUNE. More information about the survey and how companies were ranked can be found at FORTUNE’s Web site, www.fortune.com.
