-- JetBlue Named No. 1 Company to Work for In
Transportation and Logistics --
JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced it has earned a top spot
among Forbes’ “America’s Best Employers of 2017.” The airline
landed at No. 12 of 500 companies nationally and for the third
year, was named the best company to work for (No. 1) in the
category of transportation and logistics.
The annual Forbes ranking honors employers based on an
independent survey asking how likely employees would be to
recommend their employer—and other employers in their respective
industries—to someone else.
JetBlue has long been recognized for its award-winning product
and customer service. Most recently, the airline was ranked #1 in
the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) for air travel as
well as the Best Mid-Size & Low Cost Airline in North America,
and Top Ten Airline In the World in TripAdvisor’s Travelers’
Choice® Awards. These accolades are made possible by more than
20,000 crewmembers working together to live its core values and
deliver an exceptional customer experience.
“For 17 years, we have continued to build a brand that’s
listened to and remained responsive to the needs of our customers,”
said Robin Hayes, president and chief executive officer, JetBlue.
“We model this same attention to our crewmembers, knowing that when
they feel supported, they are able to support our customers. Our
people are the heart of the special culture of caring that we
cherish. Our customers feel that—and it’s what they love about
JetBlue.”
In 2016, JetBlue received more than 145,000 job applications and
hired less than 3% percent. The airline says that its popularity as
a workplace comes from its commitment to maintaining a
values-driven culture and keeping a close eye on engagement, with
plenty of opportunities for crewmembers to be part of the company’s
mission of inspiring humanity.
The employers on the Forbes list were chosen based on an
independent survey by Statista.com of 30,000 American employees
working for large or midsize U.S. companies and institutions. They
were asked anonymously through several online panels if they'd
recommend their employer, or any other employers in their industry,
to a potential employee. The mix of respondents (gender, age,
region, educational level, and ethnicity) in the sample is
representative of the overall U.S. workforce. Where appropriate,
subsidiaries of larger entities were combined for evaluation. The
survey was conducted on companies in all industry sectors employing
more than 1,000 workers in the U.S. The Forbes’ “America’s Best
