Dedicated associates are the driving
force behind 35 years of award-winning innovation
OLATHE,
Kan., Feb. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN) has been awarded the No. 2 spot on Forbes' 2024
list of America's Best Large Employers, its strongest showing to
date – and the highest ranking spot amongst technology companies –
in the annual ranking celebrating companies that create
best-in-class workplaces and invest in the well-being of their
associates.
Presented by Forbes and market research firm Statista,
the survey asked tens of thousands of U.S.-based workers to
evaluate their employers on criteria such as compensation,
corporate culture, career advancement, professional development
opportunities, work-life balance, health benefits, mental health
support and management team diversity. Rankings are based largely
on responses from current and past associates as well as their
family and friends, with the greatest weight given to current
associates.
"This ranking validates that we continue to uphold the core
values of honesty, integrity and respect set forth by our
co-founders Dr. Min Kao and
Gary Burrell 35 years ago. Although
we have grown into a global enterprise with almost 20,000
associates, it is incredibly gratifying to know that at a
foundational level Garmin is still that innovative company with an
authentic passion for excellence."
-Laurie Minard, Garmin vice
president of human resources.
Contenders were identified in an independent survey of over
170,000 employees located within the U.S. Garmin was among a total
of 600 organizations recognized in the 2024 Forbes America's Best
Employers program, comprising separate sub-lists honoring "Large"
companies with more than 5,000 employees and "Mid-Sized" companies
with workforces numbering between 1,000 and 5,000. No fees were
paid for survey consideration.
