NORTH CANTON, Ohio,
May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com), a global leader in
bearings and mechanical power transmission products, was named one
of America's Best Large Employers by Forbes magazine. The list
includes 500 companies and nonprofit organizations in 25 industries
and honors employers based on an independent survey asking how
likely individuals would be to recommend their employer—or other
employers in their industry—to someone else. This is the second
consecutive year Timken has won the award.
"All of the value we create for our customers begins inside the
company with our associates," said Richard G. Kyle, Timken
president and chief executive officer. "We strive to create an
environment where all employees are treated with respect and have
the opportunity to grow as both individuals and professionals."
Based on an independent survey by Statista.com, the employers on
the Forbes list were selected by 30,000 U.S. employees working for
companies with at least 1,000 people in their U.S. operations. They
were asked anonymously through several online panels if they would
recommend their employer, or any other employers in their industry,
to a potential employee. The mix of respondents (gender, age,
region, educational level and ethnicity) in the sample was
representative of the overall U.S. workforce. A secondary dimension
to their assessment involved another 35 questions about
work-related topics.
