AtmoSpirit consists of five principles that capture the values our company celebrates and embraces: Inspire Trust, Be at Your Best, Bring Out the Best in Others, Make a Difference, and Focus on the Future. Those principles have been the foundation of our success for a quarter century, guiding us on our journey to be the safest provider of natural gas services. Today, our unique culture of AtmoSpirit helped us achieve the sixth overall ranking on Forbes’ list of “America’s Best Midsize Employers.”  

Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to compile its annual list by surveying 45,000 Americans working for businesses with between 1,000 and 5,000 employees. The surveys were conducted anonymously, which allowed participants to freely share their opinions. From a total of 500 companies appearing on the list, Atmos Energy appears in the Top 20 for a second consecutive year, improving upon its number 18 ranking in 2022 with a sixth-place finish in 2023. Atmos Energy is also the highest ranked company in the utility industry as well as the highest ranked company headquartered in the state of Texas. Of course, this latest recognition is on top of our appearance on the Forbes list of “America’s Best Employers by State” in August last year. 

“It is a privilege to know that Atmos Energy continues to rank among the nation’s very best employers,” said Matt Robbins, senior vice president of human resources. “Our employees take pride in working at a company that reflects their values and supports their growth, which is one of many reasons why we have an average employee tenure that is nearly three times the national average.” 

“America’s Best Midsize Employers” was designed to pinpoint the companies liked best by employees across a wide array of industries, from Aerospace and Banking to Travel and Utilities – and everything in between. Respondents were asked to rate their employers on a variety of criteria including culture, compensation, and potential for development, among others. Statista also asked respondents to rate, on a scale of zero to ten, how likely they would be to recommend their employer to friends and family. 

At Atmos Energy, we strive to have a workforce that reflects the 1,400 unique communities we serve. We believe that the meaningful contributions of a workforce with a variety of skills, talents, backgrounds, and experiences fosters innovation and engagement, supporting our vision of being the safest provider of natural gas services.
