“The Best Places to Work in Indiana program is so popular because it not only showcases the state’s top workplaces but also includes an employee survey that helps all applicants improve their culture and productivity,” said Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar. “One exciting point is that more small companies made the list this year than ever before,” he adds. “With small businesses being the backbone of our state’s economy, it’s encouraging to see so many putting an emphasis on culture. This has a profound impact on the communities they serve.”

Winning companies represent more than 30 cities and towns, with multiple honorees coming from Carmel, Evansville, Fishers, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Marion, Plainfield, Warsaw, and Washington. In addition, several businesses have multiple Indiana locations.

The rankings will be unveiled on May 10 at an awards event presented by trueU.

Top companies in the state were determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. The Workforce Research Group handled the selection process.

Winners were selected from four categories: small companies of between 15 and 74 U.S. employees; medium companies of between 75 and 249 U.S. employees; large companies of between 250 and 999 U.S. employees; and major companies with 1,000 or more U.S. employees. Out-of-state parent companies were eligible to participate if at least 15 full-time employees are in Indiana.

The 2023 Best Places to Work in Indiana companies range in Hoosier employee count from 15 to 1,300.

Organizations on this year’s list that have displayed sustained excellence during the program’s 18-year history receive additional recognition. Hall of Fame designees are those that 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 KSM (formerly Katz, Sapper & Miller) – have been named to the list all 18 years of the program.
