ProHealth Care ranked best employer in Wisconsin, Forbes survey finds

A new survey of employees who work for large employers ranks ProHealth Care the best organization to work for in Wisconsin, according to an analysis by the Forbes website.

The second annual Forbes list of top employers, which is based on a survey of 80,000 workers nationwide, consists of 51 separate rankings, one for each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Only employers with at least 500 workers on their payrolls were included in the survey.

ProHealth Care, which has 4,700 employees, is headquartered in Waukesha, Wis., Forbes reports.

The surveys were carried out between October of last year and May of 2020, so employee opinions were collected before and after the coronavirus pandemic spread to the United States, according to Forbes. Forbes worked with the market research firm Statista to process the employee data.

Companies that showed up on multiple state lists of best employers tended to have the most widespread operations, such as FedEx, the survey found. And public agencies, such as the Department of Defense, tended to dominate the state lists, the publication reported.
