To determine the 11th annual ranking, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 217,000 employees at companies that employ more than 1,000 people in the United States.
Survey respondents were asked to rate the compensation, working conditions, benefits, workplace flexibility and career development opportunities of their current workplace. Respondents were also asked if they would recommend previous employers within the past two years and employers they knew through industry experience or through friends and family who worked there, according to Forbes.
Organizations with 1,000-5,000 employees were considered midsize, while companies with more than 5,000 employees were considered large.
Responses were tallied and each workplace was given a score.
Twelve hundred organizations with the highest scores made one of two final lists: 700 organizations placed America's Best Large Employers 2026 and 500 companies ranked America's Best Midsize Employers 2026.
Among the best large employers, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ranked second out of 700 employers across the country.
Founded in 1962, the pediatric treatment and research facility in Memphis, Tennessee, employs more than 5,000 people, according to Forbes.
According to Forbes' Meet America's Best Large Employers 2026, published Feb. 10, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital prioritizes sharing with its employees.
In addition to a strong sense of purpose staffers gain through their work at the hospital, employees are granted robust benefits and even a little fun in the form of activities like employee intramurals and Judestock, which brings live bands to the hospital campus, the release said.
