AMTRAK RECOGNIZED AS A TOP EMPLOYER
Dedicated and committed workforce fulfills national mission

WASHINGTON – Amtrak received recognition for workplace excellence by earning a spot in Forbes magazine’s America’s Best Employers 2016. More than 20,000 Amtrak employees nationwide give customers a safe and reliable travel experience that delivers on a shared vision of moving America where it wants to go.

America’s Railroad® is on the list for the second year in a row and is among 500 employers across 25 industries where the workers feel right at home at the office and like their jobs enough to tell others.

Listed under the transportation & logistics category, Amtrak was chosen based on Forbes’ independent survey of 30,000 workers throughout the U.S. to see which companies were the best.

“Amtrak is a remarkable story because of the people who continuously make the railroad the smarter way to travel,” Amtrak President and CEO Joe Boardman said. “We want employees to find a safe workplace, be challenged, and rewarded with competitive pay and benefits in a performance-oriented culture.”

The nation’s intercity rail provider operates more than 300 trains each day and reaches more than 500 destinations in 46 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian provinces. Employees enable a national network of long-distance, corridor and high-speed rail, connecting communities, regions and various modes of transportation all across the country. This recognition as a top employer highlights a work environment where everyone adds value and contributes to the business of delivering the company’s mission and strategic goals to provide rail service with superior safety, customer service and financial excellence.
