Bedford’s JA Benefits ranked #1 Best Place to Work in Indiana by Indiana Chamber

INDIANA – The Indiana Chamber of Commerce honored 125 companies from across the state today at the 2022 Best Places to Work in Indiana dinner celebration, sponsored by Ivy Tech Community College. Rankings for the organizations were revealed in four categories at the event, which was held in Indianapolis at the Indiana Convention Center.

Coming in at No. 1:

  • JA Benefits, LLC, a Bedford-based employee benefits company – small category (between 15 and 74 U.S. employees)
  • TrueScripts, a prescription benefit management service in Washington – medium category (between 75 and 249 U.S. employees)
  • CAPTRUST, a financial advisory firm that recently acquired Lakeside Wealth Management in Chesterton – large category (between 250 and 999 U.S. employees)
  • Jackson Lewis, P.C., a national law firm focused on labor and employment law with a local office in Indianapolis – major category (1,000 or more U.S. employees)

JA Benefits leads its category for the fourth year in a row. TrueScripts, CAPTRUST and Jackson Lewis, P.C. each reached the summit for the first time.

Honorees and rankings were determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. The Workforce Research Group handled the selection process.

“Imagine springing out of bed every morning excited to get to work. The 125 companies on the 2022 list have created an environment where that is as close to the case as possible,” offers Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar.

“For our top winners, I’m so pleased to see a small business like JA Benefits consistently engage its employees and put them first. The way the other three leading companies have used survey results in the program to keep improving and ascending is also so impressive. Leveraging this contest to enhance the workplace is really what the program has always been about and why we encourage organizations to take part.”

Winning companies ranged in employee count (at the time of application) from 15 to nearly 1,300. Out-of-state parent companies were eligible to participate if at least 15 full-time employees are in Indiana. For 2022, the selected honorees represented more than 35 cities and towns across the state.

Organizations that have displayed sustained excellence during the program’s history are also awarded a Best Places to Work in Indiana Hall of Fame designation. These companies have been named a Best Place to Work in Indiana at least 60% of the time in the program’s history. Two companies – Edward Jones and Katz, Sapper & Miller – have made the Best Places to Work list all 17 years of the program.

More information about the Best Places to Work companies is available via the May edition of the Indiana Chamber’s BizVoice® magazine, available online at www.bizvoicemagazine.com.

All companies that participated in the 2022 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses according to their employees. In turn, this report can be used in developing or enhancing employee retention and recruitment programs.

In addition to the awards, winners will be recognized via a special section of the Indiana Chamber’s BizVoice® magazine and through Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick – both of which reach statewide audiences. Additional program partners are HR Indiana SHRM, Indiana Department of Workforce Development, Wellness Council of Indiana and Workforce Research Group.
