November 13 2018 - 2:47PM
Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. is named to Forbes’ Global 2000
list of the World’s Best Employers.
The only company to earn a place on the list in the trucking
category, Old Dominion ranked within the top 500 companies
globally. The magazine compiled its Top 500 list by analyzing more
than 430,000 employee recommendations from around the world.
Companies on the World’s Best Employers list have high approval in
areas including reputation and working conditions.
“Our people are the foundation of our ability to help our
customers keep their promises, and we’re pleased that Forbes
recognized our company for being a place where people are proud to
work, and that our employees felt strongly enough to vocalize it,”
said Greg Gantt, president and CEO at Old Dominion Freight
Line.
Forbes previously recognized Old Dominion as a Best
Employer in 2015.
“We provide jobs that offer a high quality of life for more than
23,000 employees across the U.S,” said Gantt. “More importantly,
our OD Family culture that values safety, reliability, courtesy,
responsiveness and professionalism continues to drive our business.
Our customers can see it, and they know we’re able to consistently
deliver outstanding customer service with the best, on-time
services and lowest claims ratio.”
Forbes collaborated with research firm Statista to identify the top
500 companies, analyzing employee recommendations from global
polling and regional surveys. Employees rated their own employer
and the likelihood they would recommend the company to a friend or
family member. Employees also recommend other employers they
admired. The 500 companies receiving the highest total scores
achieved the World's Best Employers title.
