Perdue Farms has been distinguished as one of America's top workplaces for new professionals in 2024 by Newsweek, marking a significant achievement for the fourth-generation, family-owned U.S. food and agricultural company. It stands as the sole agricultural entity and one of merely two meat, poultry and fish enterprises to earn this prestigious accolade. This distinction underscores Perdue Farms' unwavering commitment to furnishing all team members with a secure, encouraging and thriving work milieu conducive to continuous learning and advancement.
Julie Katigan, chief human resources officer at Perdue Farms, expressed profound pride in the acknowledgment from Newsweek, stating, “We are immensely proud to receive this recognition from Newsweek and remain steadfast in our commitment to attracting and developing talent, early in their careers. Our valued associates are our biggest asset and the reason for our success. By continuously fostering a culture that empowers young professionals, we ensure Perdue Farms will thrive well into its second century of business.”
Newsweek's annual assessment, "America's Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters," conducted in collaboration with data-intelligence firm Plant-A, showcases organizations excelling in nurturing emerging talent. The evaluation incorporates feedback from employees with fewer than five years of experience within companies boasting over 500 employees.
