Bayer Named to the 2019 Forbes “America’s Best Employers List”

WHIPPANY, N.J., April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive year, Bayer was named to the Forbes "America's Best Employers List." According to the new ranking, Bayer climbed seven spots to No.150 among the Top 500 companies in the Large Company Category.  

"To be a part of Forbes 'America's Best Employers' list again is a real honor and a true testament to our U.S. employees who work in this great country every day," said Ray Kerins, SVP of Corporate Affairs for Bayer. "We couldn't have achieved this ranking without their hard work and endless dedication to the company."

Forbes, in partnership with market research firm Statista, surveyed more than 50,000 Americans working for companies with at least 1,000 employees. Respondents were asked to rate on a scale from zero to 10 about how likely they'd recommend their employer to others. In addition, they were asked to nominate organizations outside of their own industry.

The ranking was divided into two lists: one for large companies and the other for midsized companies. The large company category requires the business to have more than 5,000 employees and the midsized category to have between 1,000-5,000 employees in the United States.

The full list of America's Best Employers of 2019 can be found on Forbes online.
