IDAHO FALLS, ID, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Melaleuca: The Wellness Company, a U.S.-based manufacturer of health, wellness and consumer products employing more than 4,500 people globally, has been named to Forbes’ 2026 America’s Best Midsize Employers list. The national employer ranking marks the fourth time Melaleuca has appeared on the Forbes America’s Best Midsize Employers list.
The recognition places Melaleuca among the top one-quarter of one percent of midsize employers nationwide. The annual ranking identifies the best midsize employers in the United States based entirely on employee feedback.
The Forbes employer ranking, compiled in partnership with Statista, is based on independent, anonymous survey feedback from more than 217,000 U.S. employees. The list recognizes 500 companies out of more than 200,000 midsize employers nationwide. Companies cannot apply for or pay to be considered for the Forbes employer ranking.
Employers are assessed across key factors including company reputation, wages and benefits, workplace culture, leadership, working conditions and opportunities for growth and development. Results are weighted using multi-year data to reflect consistent performance over time rather than short-term perception.
“Our dedicated, hard-working team members are the ones who have built this company and made it such a great success,” said Frank VanderSloot, executive chairman of Melaleuca. “Many of them have been with us for more than 20 or 30 years. We are truly going through life together. I am so grateful for their loyalty to our mission of enhancing lives.”
Melaleuca has built a promote-from-within culture focused on long-term career development and retention. The company rewards long-term service through its Longevity & Long-Term Contribution Bonus program. Since 2007, Melaleuca has paid nearly $45 million in longevity bonuses.
Melaleuca employees average 8.7 years with the company, compared with the national median tenure of 3.9 years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The significant difference highlights Melaleuca’s emphasis on workplace stability, employee satisfaction and organizational integrity.
“Being recognized by Forbes is meaningful because this honor is rooted in independent research and Team Member feedback,” said Jamie Reynolds, chief human resources officer at Melaleuca. “We focus on creating an environment where people feel valued, supported and empowered to do their best work, and it’s gratifying to see that reflected in this award.”
The latest honor represents Melaleuca’s seventh award from Forbes in the last six years. In addition to four appearances on the America’s Best Midsize Employers list, Melaleuca has been recognized as one of America’s Best Employers for Women and has earned multiple Best Employers by State honors.
In 2025, USA Today recognized Melaleuca as one of America’s Best Stores and one of the Most Trusted Brands. Those honors were also based on independent research and consumer feedback.
