Top 100 Employers for Athletes
Is your company
a top employerfor athletes?
The Top 100 Employers for Athletes™ ranks the companies where competitive drive builds careers and powers recruitment. Measured by the Athlete Workforce Index™. Published annually.
Companies can't find
the people they need.
Companies and nonprofits are struggling to find quality employees to operate their business, let alone meet the local and domestic hiring regulations tied to commercial, industrial, and digital infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, 27 million kids play organized sports every year and 8 million compete in high school. The pipeline exists. The companies solving this problem aren't posting more job ads. They're building cultures that attract people who already know how to perform.
Sports drives more than
fans to play and watch games.
It drives workforce and
economic development.
