These are the best employers in GA for 2025, Forbes says
If you work for a large company, you may often wonder how your employer stacks up against others in the state.
However, the “Best Employers” list by Forbes just made that a lot more simple to track.
Here’s how Forbes ranked employers
According to Forbes, the seventh annual list contains research data from Statista, which surveyed more than 160,000 employees who work for a company of at least 500 people within the United States.
Surveys had a variety of questions, mostly pertaining to salary, work environment, training programs and opportunities to advance. However, the surveys also included questions about if the employee would recommend the company to others as well as opportunities for employees to rate the employer on certain criteria or scenarios.
Then each company was given a score based on the results of the survey and finally, ranked with other companies that received high scores.
