L.L.Bean Named to the 2015 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For(R) List

FREEPORT, Maine, March 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Internationally recognized outdoor retailer L.L.Bean , best known for its Bean Boot , everyday free shipping and 100% satisfaction guarantee was recently named to the 2015 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, ranked 56th. L.L.Bean was among the top 10 retailers on the list and received the highest ranking for an outdoor retailer.

Now in its 18th year, the list recognizes companies with extraordinary workplace cultures, based on employee surveys and an in-depth questionnaire about company practices and culture. Fortune Great Place to Work® then evaluates each application using its unique methodology based on the dimensions of credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. Great Place to Work® believes that employees know they are working for a great company when they take great pride in their jobs, enjoy the people they work with and consistently trust the people they work for.

"Being recognized by such a well-respected, well-established institution like Fortune is a testament to our commitment to make L.L.Bean truly a workplace of choice," said L.L.Bean company president and CEO, Chris McCormick. "It reflects the work our leadership has done to develop a culture that helps ensure employees feel trusted to do a good job, take pride in their work and feel that their contributions are truly valued. We would not be the global company we are today without our employees' unique talents, dedication to the brand, and unwavering commitment to providing customers with world-class service."

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.
