FORTUNE magazine and the Great Places to Work Institute today pronounced FedEx as among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in the United States.

Motivated, committed team members providing the highest possible service levels is what separates us from the competition, Smith said. Putting people first makes very good business sense and is the right thing to do.

FedEx has been honored as one of the Best Companies to Work For in 10 of the past 11 years and was named to the Best Companies to Work For Hall of Fame in 2005. FedEx also has been consistently ranked in FORTUNEs Global Most Admired Companies and Americas Most Admired Companies lists since 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Of the companies honored this year, FedEx was:

– The largest employer on the 2008 Best Companies to Work For list;
– The only shipping company included;
– Recognized for its no-layoff philosophy and promoting from within;
– Noted for its diverse workforce;
– Ranked as 97th overall;

To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work for, FORTUNE works with Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz of the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America.
