First Horizon Corporation (NYSE: FHN) has been recognized as one of Forbes America’s Best Employers for Women 2025, a distinction based on feedback from more than 140,000 U.S. women working at companies with at least 1,000 employees. The ranking, compiled in partnership with market research firm Statista, evaluates companies on factors including pay equity, career advancement, parental leave, work-life balance, and benefits for childcare or eldercare.
Survey analysts also considered historical data over the past three years and the representation of women in executive and board roles, ensuring the recognition reflects both employee perception and measurable leadership inclusion.
What This Means for First Horizon and HR Practices
The honor underscores First Horizon’s focus on creating equitable, flexible, and growth-oriented workplaces. Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Tanya Hart emphasized the company’s commitment to associates:
“Being named to Forbes America’s Best Employers for Women 2025 list affirms our focus on listening to our associates, investing in their growth and creating a positive environment where everyone can do their best work for our clients and communities.”
The recognition also reflects broader trends in U.S. HR strategy. As organizations increasingly compete for talent, gender equity, flexible work policies, and career development opportunities are no longer optional—they’re essential. Companies that proactively address these areas see measurable gains in employee retention, engagement, and brand reputation.
Investing in Talent: Beyond Recognition
First Horizon’s approach goes beyond recognition: the bank continues to invest in meaningful development programs, advancement opportunities, and flexible technologies that allow employees to thrive. These initiatives align with a growing industry focus on employee experience (EX) as a driver of overall business performance, particularly in financial services where competition for skilled talent is intense.
By fostering an environment where diverse talent can grow and succeed, First Horizon positions itself as not only a leader in financial services but also a model for inclusive workplace practices.
