COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nationwide
celebrates its second consecutive year on Fortune magazine's
list of 100 Best Companies to Work For®. The annual
survey is the national benchmark for rating companies that deliver
high performance while creating an outstanding and supportive
corporate culture.
"We are proud to once again be recognized as one of the Best
Companies to Work For," said Steve
Rasmussen, CEO for Nationwide. "This award highlights our
culture of caring that is brought to life by our associates.
Because of them, it is possible for Nationwide to deliver its On
Your Side® promise and make a difference in the lives of
our members, communities and each other."
Nationwide is intentional about creating a great work experience
and continuously evolves its approach to providing associates with
innovative talent development strategies, as well as benefits and
resources to meet their individual needs. The company provides

Nationwide's culture provides a powerful employment experience
that promotes meaningful and engaging opportunities for associates
across the organization to grow and develop their careers and to
create great impact on its members.
"Nationwide has enabled and inspired me to continue to grow both
personally and professionally. With a strong emphasis on diversity
and inclusion, its culture aligns with my values," said
Ramon Jones, regional vice
president, and 16-year associate. "Performance is expected and
rewarded. It is truly a great place to work."
The recognition by Fortune follows other local and national
honors Nationwide has received in the past year recognizing the
company's dedication to its members, its commitment to diversity,
the breadth of career opportunities and the numerous programs and
resources available to associates. This includes being recognized
by Gallup for four consecutive years with the Great Workplace
Award, receiving a 100 percent rating on the Human Rights
Campaign's Corporate Equality Index for 11 consecutive years, plus
many other top workplace awards.
Fortune partners annually with Great Place to Work®
to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America
to identify the 100 Best Companies to Work For®.
Two-thirds of a company's survey score is based on the results of
the Trust Index© Employee Survey, which is sent to a
random sample of employees from each company. This survey asks
questions related to employees' attitudes about management's
credibility, overall job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other
third is based on responses to the Culture Audit©, which
includes detailed questionnaires about pay and benefit programs and
a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, methods of
internal communication, training, recognition programs and
diversity efforts.
