United Rentals was again selected to The Wall Street Journal’’s Management Top 250 list. The ranking, developed by the Drucker Institute and published by The Wall Street Journal, identifies America’s most effectively managed publicly traded companies based on comprehensive performance metrics.
The Best-Managed Companies ranking measures corporate management effectiveness by examining performance in five areas: customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility and financial strength. It is based on an analysis of 34 data inputs provided by 15 third-party sources. Notably, United Rentals ranked No. 3 in customer satisfaction among the 668 companies assessed, No. 36 in employee engagement and No. 96 in financial strength.
“We’re honored by this recognition, which is driven by the hard work of our 28,000-plus team members,” said Matthew Flannery, president and CEO, United Rentals. “This ranking underscores our commitment to our customers, our people, and the communities we serve, while creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”
