"While it is relatively easy to build a well-regarded working environment when times are good, the commitment you have to your employees is truly tested during difficult times," said Truchard.
"For us, we met the challenges of 2001 by staying focused on the success of our employees and customers.
I am honoured that our employees have once again recognised NI as a top employer." Truchard, who has a 100-year plan for growing NI, said his employees remain optimistic as they continue to concentrate on innovating new technologies and delivering customer success.
By working together toward long-term growth and guiding NI through a tough business climate, employees are building a strong foundation for future career opportunities, said Mark Finger, NI Vice President of Human Resources.
"Our employees continue to deliver results during one of the most challenging times in our 25-year history," Finger said.
"While other companies find themselves making drastic decisions that impact their employees, we are proud of our growth and commitment to making long-lasting investments in NI, its employees, and customers." Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz, who have tracked the best companies since 1981, compiled the list of best employers for Fortune.
Much of their decision was based on an independent survey that measured the quality of workplace culture.
