East Tennessee State University has been recognized as one of America’s Best Employers for Women 2024 by Forbes magazine.
America’s Best Employers for Women 2024 were identified by Forbes and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, in an independent survey from a sample of over 150,000 women working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. from all industry sectors.
Survey respondents were asked to evaluate their own employers; other employers in their industry; and those that employ their family, friends and acquaintances and family.
At ETSU, women make up 59% of the workforce, according to Lori Erickson, assistant vice president for Human Resources. Women hold many high-ranking positions in both academics and administration at ETSU, including those of provost, vice presidents, deans, directors and more.
Erickson notes that ETSU’s generous leave policies make it easy to balance working and parenting, and that ETSU also offers paid parental leave.
In addition, ETSU’s Commission for Women Standing Committee, Women and Gender Resource Center and Office of Equity and Inclusion serve as advocates for women on campus.
