The companies on the 2024 list were announced in March, with rankings revealed at the awards ceremony. The 100 winning companies participated in a comprehensive survey and were ranked accordingly. The list includes three categories: small (15-149 employees), medium (150-499 employees), and large (500+ employees), based on U.S. employees, with only Kentucky employees surveyed.

Now in its 20th year, the Best Places to Work in Kentucky program has recognized a combined 359 unique Kentucky companies with 248 of those making the list more than once. Special recognition to Dean Dorton for making the list each of the 20 years.

“In Kentucky, HR professionals are at the forefront of guiding the workforce through the dynamic landscape of modern work. These leaders have tackled intricate post-pandemic business hurdles, from crafting ethical policies for telework and artificial intelligence use to opening space for employees to discuss and prioritize mental health. HR professionals persistently devise tactics to attract, recruit, and retain top-tier talent. Serving as invaluable strategic allies to CEOs, HR professionals propel Kentucky’s employers forward with adaptive advantage,” said KYSHRM Chair, Patricia Williams, SHRM-SCP.

According to Kentucky Chamber President and CEO, Ashli Watts, “In order to help Kentucky’s economy thrive, we must be able to educate and employ current Kentuckians, while also creating workplaces that attract talent from outside of the state. The Best Places program does just that.”
