Forbes Names Adelphi Among America's Best Employers

Garden City, NY (08/20/2024) — For the third consecutive year, Forbes has named Adelphi University among America's Best Employers By State for 2024. This year, 101 employers in New York State were recognized. Adelphi as the only university on Long Island to make the list.

To determine which companies made the list, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey 70,000 employees across the country at companies with more than 500 employees, asking them to rate their employer overall and in categories such as work environment, gender pay equity, opportunities for advancement, pride in the company's product or services and more.

"We are thrilled to once again receive this recognition from Forbes that reflects our commitment to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for our faculty and staff to call home and thrive," said John Siderakis, Adelphi's vice president of administration. "Guided by our long-term Momentum 2 strategic plan, we're proud to have implemented many ways to support and connect our campus community, providing professional development and leadership training, generous work-life balance and benefits, and unique opportunities for our employees."
