On Feb. 15, Forbes listed Arizona State University as one of America’s Best Large Employers for 2023.

In partnership with Statista, a global provider of rankings and large-scale polling, Forbes surveyed approximately 45,000 U.S. employees at companies with more than 1,000 workers.

Five hundred U.S. employers across 25 industry sectors were recognized and evaluated based on respondents’ willingness to recommend their employer to friends and family.

Michael G. Latsko, ASU’s vice president and chief human resources officer, said the Best Large Employer title reinforces ASU’s reputation as a company that provides excellent employment opportunities on a national level.

“This honor, especially because it results from employee feedback, is a meaningful testament to ASU’s position as a national destination for top talent,” Latsko said.

“At ASU, we are focused on nurturing our unique, inclusive culture of belonging where employees feel valued, can thrive in their careers and support genuine societal impact. Our culture and people make ASU one of the best places to work in higher education and the country.”

ASU was also named one of America’s Best Employers By State for 2022 by Forbes in August.

Forbes and Statista collected direct recommendations from employees as well as indirect recommendations from workers in the industry. Since the employee experience can vary greatly depending on an organization’s size and the individual worker, the final list ranks the 500 large employers that received the most recommendations. Beginning in 2015 with America’s Best Employers, Forbes and Statista have since expanded the coverage to include those employers considered best for diversity, women and new graduates.

See What Our Parents Are Saying – ASU Prep Digital Stood Out from Other Schools

There’s a lot to consider these days, especially when it comes to your child and his/her education. Online learning, while not new, is new to many parents and students who are familiar with traditional brick-and-mortar schooling. This parent wrote to tell us why she chose ASU Prep Digital for her son.

“It all began in December 2021. I had gotten sick with COVID-19 and so did my son. My son used to go [to school] in person and I worked there as well. After having gotten sick, my son requested to be transferred to an online school because he was very scared of getting COVID again. I started looking for online schools who were accepting new enrollments and who had good reviews on the school curriculum. There were several that I looked at and only ASU Prep Digital stood out from the other schools. As every parent does, I did have concerns about my son’s learning experience—if he was going to like it, and if it was a good fit for him. Everything was wonderful, from me calling to ask about the school, what I needed, etc. the enrollment process was easy, and the staff was wonderful. I like everything about it. I like the learning coach my son has, his teacher, it works out for my family. I’m available for my son in case he needs help uploading or reconnecting. ASU Prep Digital is a wonderful school!”

Thank you for letting us know how much you and your son are enjoying ASU Prep Digital. We are honored you’ve allowed us to be part of his educational journey and appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us.
