The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) has been ranked as Alabama's third best place to work on the Forbes list of America's Best-In-State Employers 2024. This award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., a leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
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.
According to Statistica, the consideration of data from three years allowed a robust 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 own 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.
The ADPH is honored to be recognized on the Forbes list of America's Best-In-State Employers for 2024, especially because employee feedback was an important factor.
State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris said, "Caring and dedicated employees are the greatest asset of our team. Our terrific public health professionals provide the highest quality services with compassion, empathy, fairness and respect for our clients. This prestigious ranking recognizes their overall excellence in the multitude of programs they provide throughout the state. I am very grateful to belong to an organization with such talented and committed men and women."
The award list was announced on August 20, 2024, and can be viewed on the Forbes website.
