Only Wisconsin company to be named Top 10
"As a family company, SC Johnson's unique culture is based on respect, fairness, inclusion and fun in the workplace," said SC Johnson Chairman and CEO Fisk Johnson. "Our ranking on the list is based in large part on the opinions of the people who work here, and that means a great deal to me that those working at the company truly feel that SCJ is a great place to work."
In addition to the Top 10 overall ranking, SC Johnson was also recognized for paid sabbaticals, telecommuting, excellent compensation practices, and unusual perks such as retiree lifetime memberships to the company's fitness and aquatic center. SC Johnson was also commended for its devoted workforce and low turnover rate of 2 percent.
SC Johnson has been recognized as a company of excellence on the "100 Best Places to Work For" six times, including the past four consecutive years among the top third. The company was also featured in the best-selling book entitled, "The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America," by Milton Moskowitz and Robert Levering, which was published prior to the launch of FORTUNE's annual list.
The full list of top-rated companies is available at www.fortune.com now, and will appear in the January 23, 2006 issue of FORTUNE, on newsstands next week. FORTUNE and the Great Place to Work® Institute compile their 100 Best list based on an extensive questionnaire, an employee survey and a written portion including stories from employees explaining what makes SC Johnson a best place to work. The most important factor in selecting the 100 Best is based on what employees have to say about their workplaces.
