Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama has been named to the Forbes list of America’s Best Employers 2026, according to an announcement released Tuesday.
The award, presented in collaboration with Statista, was announced on February 10 and is available on the Forbes website.
According to Forbes and Statista, the rankings were compiled through an independent survey of more than 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies with at least 1,000 employees nationwide. More than 3.5 million employer evaluations were considered in determining the final rankings.
The scoring was based on two types of evaluations — personal assessments from employees and public evaluations from friends, family members or industry peers — with greater weight given to personal evaluations.
Based on the survey results, Blue Cross earned a place on the national list.
