Several of NCC’s member companies have been named to Forbes’ 2025 Best Large Employers list, an award presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
Among those companies honored in the Food category were NCC members Perdue Farms, Mountaire Farms, House of Raeford Farms, and Cargill.
Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best Employers 2025 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Over 6.5 million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry), with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.
The annual rankings were based primarily on survey responses from more than 217,000 employees working at companies within the U.S. Survey respondents (who remained anonymous so they could answer freely) were asked if they would recommend their employer to others and to rate it based on a range of criteria, including salary, work environment, training programs, and opportunities to advance. Participants were also asked if they would recommend their previous employers (within the past two years) and the employers they knew through their industry experience or through friends or family who worked there.
The award list was announced on February 12th, 2025, and can be viewed on Forbes’ website: https://www.forbes.com/lists/best-large-employers
