CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rockwell Collins’ Chairman, President and CEO Kelly Ortberg has won a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award recognizing the 100 Highest Rated CEOs in large U.S. companies for 2017. Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing job sites, released its annual report honoring the Highest Rated CEOs, which highlights the top leaders that employees love working for in countries throughout North America and parts of Europe.
Among chief executives recognized by employees at large companies in the U.S., Ortberg received an impressive approval rating based on the anonymous and voluntary reviews that Rockwell Collins employees shared on Glassdoor throughout the past year.
“For the past few years, Rockwell Collins has worked extremely hard to create and maintain an employee-focused culture that demonstrates every day how important our people are to our company’s success,” Ortberg said. “Employee engagement is not just a catchphrase for us. I’m very pleased by this recognition because it tells me that our employees are seeing the results of our efforts.”
When employees submit reviews about their company on Glassdoor, they are asked to rate various factors about their employment experience, including their overall satisfaction and other workplace attributes such as senior management. As part of these ratings, employees are also asked to rate whether they approve, disapprove or are neutral about the job their CEO is doing.
Ortberg, who ranked 91 out of the top 100 CEOs in large U.S. companies, received an approval rating from employees of 89 percent. Among the 700,000 companies reviewed on Glassdoor, the average CEO approval rating is 67 percent.
“CEOs tell us the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award is one of the highest honors they can receive because it truly reflects employee opinion about the job they do every day. I congratulate all of the winners on this significant honor,” said Robert Hohman, Glassdoor co-founder and CEO. “We know that CEO approval ratings correlate to overall employee satisfaction and trust in senior leadership, which contributes to long-term employee engagement, ultimately helping an employer’s recruiting and retention efforts.”
