Forbes Names Granite One of America’s Best Mid-Size Employers for the Fourth Consecutive Year

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced today it has been named by Forbes as one of America’s

Best Mid-Size Employers
for the fourth year in a row. The annual

Forbes ranking honors employers based on an independent survey asking

how likely employees would be to recommend their employer—and other

employers in their respective industries—to someone else.

“Being named as one of America’s Best Mid-Size Employers for the fourth

year in a row is a distinct honor made possible because of our

employees,” said Granite President and Chief Executive Officer, James H.

Roberts. “We have the best people in the industry. By living our Core

Values, our employees cultivate an environment others want to join.”

Forbes, in partnership with Statista.com,

conducted an anonymous survey of over 50,000 U.S. employees working for

large and mid-size U.S. firms, divisions of international companies or

institutions to compile the list. Respondents were asked to rate 30 work

related attributes grouped in terms of atmosphere, compensation and

diversity to ascertain if the employers make their employees feel

secure, understood, needed and inspired.
