Total Quality Logistics Named One of Fortune Magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2020

TQL Named to Elite List for Second Consecutive Year, Jumping 6 spots from 2019’s Ranking

Cincinnati, OH (February 18, 2020) – Total Quality Logistics (TQL) has been named to Fortune Magazine’s list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2020. The annual ranking recognizes companies with outstanding workplace cultures, according to the global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work and Fortune.

This is the second straight year TQL has been named to Fortune’s list of Best Companies to Work For®, rising 6 spots to number #78 on this year’s list, up from #84 in 2019. To determine the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, survey responses from more than 650,000 employees in the U.S. were analyzed on how respondents rated their company on credibility, trust, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.

“We take great pride at TQL in developing relationships with our customers and carriers, but it starts with our employees,” said TQL President Kerry Byrne. “We’re incredibly honored by this recognition because it’s further evidence we have created a culture that customers, carriers and employees are all proud to be associated with,” Byrne added.

TQL, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio and one of the nation’s largest freight brokerage companies, hosts numerous employee engagement events throughout the year, including its TQL Cares volunteer and donation matching program, which had an 82% participation rate from employees in 2019. Other unique culture-building events include three annual signature events centered around holidays for employees’ children, a Pull-for-a-Cure semi-truck pull to raise $100,000 for the American Cancer Society, and a card-sending campaign to brighten the spirits of patients at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital during the holiday season. TQL has 57 offices in the U.S., with more than 5,000 employees.

“The 100 Best show the way forward,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “These companies have created Great Places to Work For All—for everyone, no matter who a person is or what they do for the organization. As a result, they have built a path to realize the promise of artificial intelligence, gain strength from a diversity of perspectives, and thrive during downturns.”

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For list. Great Place to Work research shows that companies appearing on the list outperform industry rivals when it comes to talent retention and demonstrating higher levels of productivity than their peers.
