Principal 10 Best Companies for Employee Financial Security Applications Now Open

Principal Financial sponsors an annual award for the 10 best companies for employee financial security. Companies must have fewer than 1,000 employees. The awards look primarily at health insurance (the most important factor) and retirement benefits, but also give some consideration to other insurance programs, wellness initiatives, and the way financial security issues are communicated. Salaries are not a factor. ESOP companies have often been winners in the past. I have been a judge for the awards for several years, but would need to recuse myself on any company I could identify that was a member (the submissions are anonymous, however).
