ALTOONA, Pa., Nov. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sheetz is honored to announce that after surveying more than 45,000 employees in the retail sector, Great Place to Work® and Fortune have recognized Sheetz as one of the 20 Best Workplaces in Retail. We consider this honor exceptionally notable because the recognition is based on our employees' own assessments of the quality and inclusiveness of our workplace.
"It is our dream for our employees to tell us that they are happier clocking in than clocking out," says Joe Sheetz. "Recognition like this proves that a company-wide effort to build and nurture a positive culture truly pays off. We couldn't have done it without the favorable opinion of our employees and the supportive work environment they create."
Sheetz and the 19 other winning companies were selected based on evaluations by over 45,000 employees within the retail sector. Employees ranked their companies using Great Place to Work's Trust Index© employee survey. Employees answered questions about how frequently they experience the behaviors that create a great workplace, considering everything from the quality of the company's pay and benefits, their opportunities for advancement, support for employees' personal lives, and management ethics and day-to-day respect for staff. Survey results achieved a 95 percent confidence level and a margin of error of 5.7 percent or less. The total score for each company is based entirely upon employee feedback and the final ranking reflects the 20 companies with the highest total scores in their size categories.
"The companies on this list are leaders who offer retail employees well-rounded workplaces capable of attracting and developing top talent regardless of industry sector," says Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work® United States. "Ranking on this list is a great indicator that these companies' efforts to create great workplaces are resonating throughout their teams."
The 20 Best Workplaces in Retail ranking is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work® and Fortune based upon employee survey feedback from published Great Place to Work® Reviews.
