PLANO, Texas
(April 16, 2015) - J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) was
recently named one of America's Best Employers for 2015 according
to an independent study organized by Forbes and Statista.com. The
survey anonymously questioned 20,000 Americans on whether they
would recommend their employer to potential employees, and was
conducted through a variety of anonymous online panels.
"We're proud to be named one of
America's best employers - a designation determined by our very own
associates," said Myron E. (Mike) Ullman, III, chief executive
officer of JCPenney. "This honor is particularly gratifying for the
Company as it mirrors our own internal associate engagement scores,
which increased nine points last year alone. This is a significant
achievement for any retailer, especially considering that the
Company was undergoing a turnaround."
"Our associates are the heart of
JCPenney, and their passion for the Company is critical to creating
customer loyalty," added Marvin Ellison, president and CEO-designee
of JCPenney. "While it's been only six months since I joined the
Company, it is clear to see how our Warrior Spirit helps us to win
with customers, while inspiring and winning with our own
associates."
JCPenney was also named
to Victory Media's Military Friendly Employer list for the
second year in a row. Victory Media recognizes the Company's
military recruiting efforts, percentage of new hires with military
service, veteran retention programs and National Guard and Reserve
service policies.
Additionally, jcp salon was
recently awarded Behind the Chair's 2015 Stylist Choice Award for
favorite chain salon group. Stylists from across the nation
voted for their favorite salon chain, and jcp salon was the winner
out of five finalists.
