SPRINGFIELD — For the third year in a row, Big Y has been recognized as a Forbes “Best-In-State Employer” for 2021. Forbes America’s Best-InState Employers have been identified across all industries based upon an independent survey of employees who anonymously recommend their employers for this award.
Employers such as Big Y have no knowledge of which employees are polled nor do they have the ability to influence the results in any way. According to Forbes, employees are asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family.
Employees are also asked to give their opinions on a series of statements surrounding work-related topics such as working conditions, salary, potential for development and company image regarding their current employer. Big Y’s award spans 25 different industries.
