OSHKOSH, Wis. (Sept. 18, 2023) – Fox World Travel, a leading travel company in the nation and headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is excited to announce it has been awarded the 66th spot on the Forbes list of America’s Best Small Employers 2023. The list examined a pool of more than 10,000 businesses in America to rank the 300 best companies, seven of which are in Wisconsin.
“Being recognized by one of the most respected companies in the nation, Forbes, as one of America’s Best Small Employers is a significant honor,” explained Fox World Travel CEO, Chip Juedes. “Fox is a proud, family-owned business with a steadfast focus on both the associate and customer experience, developing tailored solutions to meet clients’ corporate and vacation travel needs. We truly value the creativity, commitment and unwavering effort of our exceptional associates since they are at the heart of our company’s culture.”
Forbes partnered with the market research firm Statista Inc. to compile the America’s Best Small Employers list which was created to help potential job seekers assess the landscape of small employers, according to a Forbes article about the list. The ranking for the America’s Best Small Employers list was based on the analysis of over 7 million data points with over 10,000 companies with more than 200 employees, but fewer than 1,000. Placement on the final list was awarded based on a scoring model that considered the following aspects:
A. Employee Satisfaction / Public Opinion Data: This took the form of recommendations given by employees anonymously through online surveys. These were either direct recommendations (0 to 10 scores from employees of the company) or indirect recommendations (positive/negative evaluations of companies, reflecting public opinion). Additionally, employee retention (average length of employment) was considered.
B. Social listening data: The sentiment reflected in various sources across thousands of social media posts related to the company’s relationship with its employees is identified through an algorithm and deemed either positive, negative or neutral based on textual analysis.
“While large businesses tend to get most of the attention, small businesses employ almost half of the American workforce and can offer many advantages,” according to Forbes magazine in an article about Forbes’ America’s Best Small Employers list.
