"We’re honored to be on Forbes Best Midsize Employer list for the eighth time," said Heather Laychak, Aerospace's Chief People Officer. "It is a remarkable achievement and underscores our employees’ unwavering dedication and commitment to building an exceptional workplace environment."

These strategic enhancements reflect Aerospace's dedication to addressing complex challenges, creating a dynamic and progressive workplace, and to shaping the future of the space industry as a whole. 

The Forbes America’s Best Midsize Employers list was compiled through an independent survey of 50,000 Americans who worked for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. Participants were asked their willingness to recommend their employers and to nominate other organizations. These rankings were based on the number of recommendations each company received.
