CANTON, Ohio (Aug. 22, 2023) – Aultman Health Foundation has been awarded on the Forbes list of America’s Best-in-State Employers 2023. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on Aug. 22, 2023, and can currently be viewed on the Forbes website.

“As one of the largest employers in our region, providing a safe, welcoming workplace is one of our highest priorities,” said Jennifer Kessel, senior vice president, human resources, Aultman Health Foundation. “Aultman strives to promote a positive, diverse, supportive work environment for our more than 7,000 colleagues, and this award is evidence of our success in those efforts.”

America's Best-in-State Employers 2023 were identified based on 2.1 million employer recommendations from employees working for companies with more than 500 employees in the United States. The recommended employers have been grouped into one of the 25 industry sectors. Employers with operations in more than one state were ranked in multiple states.

The evaluation was made on a state-by-state basis and is based on three distinct criteria: in-state indirect recommendations, national in-industry indirect recommendations and direct recommendations. Furthermore, employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements surrounding work-related topics of working conditions, diversity, salary, potential for development and company image regarding their current employer.
