150 companies named ‘Best Place to Work in Indiana’ for 2025

INDIANA— The 2025 Best Places to Work in Indiana list features honorees from all corners of the state and more than 20 industries. In this 20^th edition of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce initiative, 150 companies made the list. They will be ranked across five size categories at an April 30 dinner event. This marks the largest group ever to be ranked.

Including these local companies:

JA Benefits LLC / Bedford
Applied Research Institute / Bloomington
Harrell-Fish, Inc. / Bloomington
IU Credit Union / Bloomington
Loren Wood Builders Design-Build / Bloomington
Weddle Bros. Construction Co., Inc. / Bloomington
Belt Tech Industrial / Washington
True Rx Health Strategists / Washington

“We all recognize that currently, there is intense competition for talent. This program is a great way for organizations to take the temperature of their culture and how it’s resonating with today’s workers,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Vanessa Green Sinders.

“Companies on the right cultural track also are much more likely to be effective across the board and have increased productivity and overall success. We salute each of this year’s winners for their commitment to displaying best practices in their workplaces, which are enabling them to attract and retain employees.”

The top companies in the state were determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. The Workforce Research Group handled the selection process.

Winning organizations represent over 30 cities and towns, with multiple honorees from Bloomington, Carmel, Evansville, Fishers, Granger, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Marion, Noblesville, South Bend, and Washington. In addition, several businesses have multiple Indiana locations.

In recent years, the number of smaller organizations applying and making the list has continued to grow. That led to splitting the small category into two groups and adding the new small-medium employee size category in 2025. Sinders says it “better reflects the interest in the program, the prevalence of small businesses across the state, and how the Indiana Chamber wants to champion the sector.”

The winners were selected from five categories: small companies with 15 to 34 U.S. employees; small-medium companies with 35 to 74 U.S. employees; medium companies with 75 to 249 U.S. employees; large companies with 250 to 999 U.S. employees; and major companies with 1,000 or more U.S. employees. Out-of-state parent companies with at least 15 full-time employees in Indiana were eligible to participate.

The 2025 Best Places to Work in Indiana companies range in Hoosier employee count from 15 to 1,336.

Edward Jones and KSM (Katz, Sapper & Miller) have been honored in all 20 years of the program’s history.

In addition to the April 30 awards, winners will be recognized via a special section of the Indiana Chamber’s BizVoice® magazine and through Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick – both of which reach statewide audiences. Additional program partners are HR Indiana SHRM, Institute for Workforce Excellence, Wellness Council of Indiana, and Workforce Research Group.

All companies that participated in the 2025 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation that identifies their employees’ strengths and weaknesses. This report can be used to develop or enhance employee retention and recruitment programs.

The 20^th Annual Best Places to Work in Indiana Awards Dinner will be open to the public. Individual tickets and tables of 10 are available at www.indianachamber.com/conferences.
