This is the second consecutive year Eastman has made the list, ranking 232nd in 2018.

Companies are selected based on the opinions of American workers. The most important factor in determining a company’s ranking on the list comes from the likelihood of current employees recommending their company to friends or family.

“This recognition reflects the fact that our people matter,” said Mark Costa, Board Chair and CEO. “Our team members are the key to Eastman’s success and to fulfilling our purpose of enhancing the quality of life in a material way. The significant gain that we made on the list this year is an indication that we are pursuing a mission and a vision that our team believes in and finds meaningful. For any company, that is the greatest reward.”

In collaboration with analytics firm , Forbes asked 50,000 American employees working for large firms or institutions to rate – on a scale of 0 to 10 – their willingness to recommend their own companies. In addition, participants were requested to evaluate other employers that stood out either positively or negatively in their respective industries. The employees who took part in the survey were consulted anonymously through several online access panels, not through their employers. The mix of respondents (gender, age, region, and ethnicity) in the sample represents American employees.
