Many employers claim to be the best, but not every employer is chosen by Forbes for that distinction.
The magazine has unveiled its annual list of America’s Best Employers by State, and for the fourth year in a row, Augusta University, which has 6,500 employees, has been included on that list. Augusta University Health has also been selected this year.
Forbes and Statista, a market research company, created the list by surveying 70,000 American workers from 25 industries. The companies examined a variety of factors, including salaries, working conditions, growth potential, and diversity.
“It is truly humbling and an honor for Augusta University to be named one of America’s Best Employers for a fourth straight year, and for us to represent the region as the only Augusta-based employer on the list,” said AU President, Dr. Brooks A. Keel. “This endorsement is a testament to our world-class faculty who offer our students and patients educational opportunities and health care like no other.”
While the university and health system are the only Augusta-based employers, many larger companies on the list have locations in the CSRA, including Home Depot, Aldi, and Advance Auto Parts.
