Forbes names Melaleuca one of America’s best employers for second year

Melaleuca’s reputation as one of the nation’s best employers continues to attract national recognition. For the second consecutive year, Forbes magazine has identified Melaleuca on its list of America’s Best Employers and named Melaleuca as one of the very best companies in the country to work for.In fact, Forbes ranked Melaleuca in the top 100 companies out of more than 200,000 mid-sized companies in America.

Last year, Forbes placed Melaleuca on its list of America’s Best Employers By State.

Forbes’ list of America’s Best Employers is based on results from its nationwide survey of over 50,000 Americans about job satisfaction and employee benefits. The final list ranked only the top 500 employers out of over 200,000 mid-sized companies in the nation.

“To be named as one of the best employers in the nation, is a real honor and a tribute to the many great people who work here,” Melaleuca CEO Frank VanderSloot said. “We feel like a family. Many of our employees have been with us more than 25 or 30 years. They are the ones who built this company. They are the ones that make Melaleuca a great place to work. I am very proud of who they are and what they do.”

Forbes magazine, one of the nation’s leading business magazines, does an extensive survey each year. It partners with Statista, a well-known, independent research firm to conduct this expansive survey, which encompassed 25 different sectors of the economy.

Melaleuca employs over 2,000 people in the U.S. most of them in southeast Idaho. In a time when most employees change companies every few years, Melaleuca’s workforce is extremely loyal. Many spend their entire career with the company.
