Hormel Foods Corporation, a global branded food company, today announced it has been recognized by Forbes on its 2019 World’s Best Employers list, coming in at No. 72 (up from No. 234 the year before). This is the third year in a row the company has received this recognition.

To create the ranking of the World’s Best Employers, Forbes partnered with Statista to cull its annual list of the world’s 2,000 largest public companies based on 1.4 million employment recommendations sourced from a global poll and regional surveys. Respondents around the world were asked to rate their own employer and the likelihood that they would recommend this employer to a friend or family member. They also rated other employers they admired.

Hormel Foods was also recognized this year as one of the 50 Best Companies to Sell For by Selling Power magazine and a Best for Vets Employer by Military Times.
