What are the best places to work in Kentucky?

LEXINGTON, Ky. ( FOX 56 ) — Whether you are looking to call Kentucky your home or looking for a change of scenery for work, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce’s Best Places to Work has you covered.

Best Places to Work identifies employers in Kentucky doing things right and creating cultures that make employees proud to be a part of them.

In June, the Chamber of Commerce honored 100 companies, naming them the best places in Kentucky to work in 2024.

“In order to help Kentucky’s economy thrive, we must be able to educate and employ current Kentuckians, while also creating workplaces that attract talent from outside of the state. The Best Places program does just that,” said Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts.

Three companies across the three size categories stood on top, with Delta Dental of Kentucky, Blue & Co., LLC., and Amgen standing out as the very best in Kentucky.

Delta Dental of Kentucky is a small, not-for-profit insurance benefits company with 84 employees based in Louisville. A news release said the company showcased exceptional tenure and satisfaction, with feedback highlighting that employees felt valued, celebrated, respected, and part of the Delta Dental family. Delta Dental of Kentucky, previously ranked third in the small category, has made the list for nine years.
