Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN),
today announced that Forbes recognized Garmin as the No. 1 Employer
in the State of Kansas in its inaugural ranking of America’s Best
Employers by State. Forbes partnered with market research company
Statista to pinpoint the companies and organizations preferred by
employees in its first-ever state-by-state ranking.
“We are honored to again be recognized by Forbes, this time as
the top employer in Kansas,” said Cliff Pemble, Garmin president
and CEO. “Garmin associates bring their passion for our products to
work every day, and we believe that genuine interest in our
business combined with a commitment to serving our customers is
what sets us apart.”
The designation reinforces Garmin’s ongoing commitment to
employee engagement, inclusion and diversity. In April, Garmin
ranked No. 5 on Forbes’ list of America’s Best Employers in 2019,
its third consecutive appearance on the list in the large employers
category, up from No. 37 in 2018.
“Garmin strives to attract and retain top talent by creating a
rewarding and vibrant work environment,” said Laurie Minard, Garmin
vice president of human resources. “This latest Forbes ranking is
our report card and tells us that our associates enjoy working for
Garmin.”
Forbes America’s Best Employers by State rankings were derived
from a series on online access panels composed of U.S.-based
employees.
With more than 13,000 associates in 35 countries around the
world, Garmin is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The
company maintains, just as it did in 1989, a vertically integrated
business model where design, manufacturing, distribution, sales,
marketing and support roles are primarily in-house creating
opportunities for employees. Garmin designs GPS navigation and
wearable technology for five primary markets, including automotive,
aviation, fitness, marine and outdoor recreation.
