Akron Children’s named on the Forbes list of America’s Best-in-State Employers 2024

09-11-2024 (Mahoning Valley, Ohio)

Akron Children’s has been named on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2024. This award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on Aug. 20 and can be viewed on the Forbes website.

America's Best-In-State Employers 2024 were identified in an independent survey from a  sample of over 160,000 employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. The ranking is open to companies from all industry sectors.

Around 4.4 million employer evaluations were considered. The consideration of data from 3 years allowed differentiation between organizations that consistently perform well from those that may only have had a single good year. An employer's final score is determined on a state-by-state basis and is built upon two types of employee evaluations:

  • Personal Evaluations: Employees’ willingness to recommend their employers to friends and family.
     
  • Public Evaluations: Recommendations from friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry- also known as indirect evaluations.

“Akron Children’s is honored to be included on Forbes list of America’s Best-in-State Employers for 2024,” said Rhonda Larimore, Chief Human Resources Officer for Akron Children’s. “This award, voted on by current and former employees, is a testament to our culture as an innovative, inclusive workplace that supports staff in their professional and personal lives.”


Statista publishes hundreds of worldwide industry rankings and company listings with high-profile media partners. This research and analysis service is based on the success of statista.com, the leading data and business intelligence portal that provides statistics, relevant business data, and various market and consumer studies and surveys.
