Eastman is named on the Forbes list of Best-in-State Employers for 2022. This award is presented annually by Forbes and Statista Inc., a statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
“We’re excited to be included as a ‘Best-In-State Employer’ by Forbes for the third consecutive year,” says Mark Costa, Board Chair and CEO. “Eastman is a material innovation company, but more than that, we’re a widely diverse and inclusive people company. The fact that our people are the ones who ranked us highly and say they are willing to recommend Eastman to friends and family speaks volumes. I’m deeply honored and continue to be proud of the innovative solutions Eastman people deliver every day.”
How the list is created
America's Best-in-State Employers 2022 were identified in an independent survey based on a vast sample of approximately 70,000 Americans working for companies with more than 500 employees in the USA. Across 25 industry sectors, 1,380 employer brands were ranked among the top employers. Brands were able to win in more than one state.
The evaluation was based on direct and indirect recommendations from employees who were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family. Employees were also asked to evaluate other employers in their respective industry and state that stood out either positively or negatively.
