FirstEnergy's efforts to promote diversity
and mental wellbeing highlighted
AKRON,
Ohio, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FirstEnergy
Corp. (NYSE: FE) has been named to three America's Greatest
Workplaces lists by Newsweek and data research firm Plant-A
Insights, including America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity
2024, the inaugural America's Greatest Workplaces for Mental
Wellbeing 2024 and their flagship America's Greatest Workplaces
2024.
Christine L. Walker,
FirstEnergy's Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer
and Corporate Services: "A company is only as successful
as the people who work there, and we are proud to have one of
America's greatest workforces. FirstEnergy is thankful that
Newsweek and Plant-A Insights have recognized not just our
commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, which is one of our
core values, but the importance we place on health and wellness and
work/life programs as part of our Total Rewards package. We are
honored to be one of the greatest places to work, and it's our team
members that help make our communities great places to live, work
and raise a family."
Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces 2024 list is based on a
formula that combines more than 1.5 million reviews from more than
250,000 employees with data on categories including:
- Proactive management of a diverse workforce
- Sustainability and awareness
- Compensation and benefits
- Training and career progression
- Work/life balance and overall work environment
- Company image and corporate culture
Desk research on more than 35 key performance indicators (KPIs),
along with media monitoring and thorough validation by Newsweek and
Plant-A Insights' research teams, also factored into the final
score.
Interviews with HR professionals, an anonymous online survey and
a thorough examination of publicly available data were used to
determine America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024. A
similar approach, including the analysis of KPIs related to the
range of corporate mental health programs and social media ratings
of work/life balance, was used to develop the first-ever America's
Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing list.
FirstEnergy received the maximum score of five stars on both the
America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024 and America's
Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing 2024 rankings.
Nancy Cooper, Newsweek's
Global Editor in Chief: "Mental well-being is an
increasingly important concern for U.S. workers, which means it's
increasingly important for U.S. employers as well. And diversity
remains a crucial factor as people look for an employer or business
partner. Newsweek and Plant-A Insights are proud to highlight the
companies that are making a positive difference in the mental
wellness of their workers and are committed to offering a diverse
and inclusive work environment."
