Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC has been awarded on the Forbes list of America’s Best Employers 2026. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on February 10, 2026, and can be viewed on Forbes website.
Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best Employers 2026 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Over 3.5 million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry), with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.
“We are honored to receive this recognition and are deeply proud of the incredible team we have built at Ashley,” said Todd Wanek, president and CEO of Ashley Furniture Industries. “Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, and this award reflects our ongoing dedication to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered. We believe that when our employees thrive, our company thrives, and this recognition is a testament to that philosophy.”
Ashley Furniture Industries has always been committed to fostering a workplace that nurtures talent and encourages innovation. This recognition reinforces that Ashley is poised to continue leading the industry in employee satisfaction, setting a new standard for workplace excellence.
