PECO comes out on top in national survey
PECO
has been named Philadelphia’s best midsize employer in a new ranking
from Forbes magazine’s “America’s Best Employers 2017” list. The second
year in a row recognized by Forbes, the ranking represents PECO’s
ongoing efforts to provide a rewarding workplace for more than 2,500
employees from the Greater Philadelphia area.
“At PECO, we foster a culture of teamwork and inclusion and to empower
our employees, which results in better service for our customers and the
communities we serve,” said Craig Adams, PECO president and CEO. “This
recognition is a great testament to the commitment of every employee in
making PECO an enjoyable and rewarding place to work.”
PECO is dedicated to providing its employees with the most rewarding
work experience possible, helping people not just fill jobs, but create
careers. The company is proud of its commitment to building an
organization that resembles the communities it serves. PECO also
supports nine different employee initiated resource groups, promoting
diversity and inclusion and meaningful initiatives across the company.
PECO’s employees are dedicated to more than the company, they are
committed to the region where they live and work. In 2016, employees set
a new company record, dedicating more time and energy to local nonprofit
organizations than ever before. Last year, PECO employees logged nearly
22,000 volunteer hours at more than 150 local nonprofits. PECO also
provided more than $6 million in support to local community and
nonprofit organizations, and has been recognized year-after-year as one
of the region’s most impactful corporate citizens.
PECO’s parent company, Exelon, has taken major actions in the past year
to support a culture of innovation and opportunity for employees. Exelon
became the first utility company to sign the White House’s Equal Pay
Pledge, and announced expanded family leave policies to provide paid
time off for employees following the birth or adoption of a child, or
when a family member is critically ill. Forbes named Exelon to its
inaugural “Most Just” companies list, and the company has been
recognized nationally by organizations that strive for equality and
support for people with disabilities, LGBTQ, veterans and active
military, youth, and more.
The Forbes “America’s Best Employers 2017” list is compiled from
anonymous rankings by more than 30,000 employees.
