Salisbury, MD (September 18, 2024) - Perdue Farms has been recognized as one of the best private companies to work for by U.S. News & World Report. The company is the only poultry company included on the list and one of three agriculture companies.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from U.S. News & World Report. It reflects our long-standing commitment to our current and future associates to create a workplace where they can grow and thrive at all career stages,” said Julie Katigan, Chief Human Resources Officer at Perdue Farms. “At Perdue Farms, our associates are our greatest asset; and we are continuously building on our already strong culture that empowers our teams to unlock their full potential.”

The U.S. News Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies list reviews privately owned companies and nonprofit organizations with at least 5,000 employees across 18 industries. Only approximately 25% of the companies reviewed made the list.

Perdue’s inclusion in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies list marks its second workplace award since the beginning in 2024. In March, Perdue Farms was recognized as one of America’s greatest workplaces for job starters by Newsweek.
