Pigeon Forge, TN (WOKI / WVLT) Dollywood Parks and Resorts has been picked as the only theme park included on Forbes’ list of best places for women to work in 2025.
America’s Best Employers for Women 2025 is based on data collected through online surveys over the past three years. Dollywood made the cut for the Travel and Leisure industry list.
Of 700 included companies, Dollywood is ranked 458. It’s just one more of Dollywood’s many honors, awards and accolades.
“At Dollywood, we believe that creating an exceptional host experience starts with fostering a culture of respect, opportunity and belonging,” said Dollywood Vice President of Human Resources Susan Loveday. “We are proud of the ways we’ve empowered women across our organization—from leadership development to flexible scheduling and mentorship programs. Being recognized by Forbes is an incredible honor and a reflection of our ongoing commitment to ensure every host feels valued and supported so they can provide the best possible experience for our guests.”
According to Statista, the firm which conducted the survey, “The consideration of data from a three-year period allows a robust differentiation between organizations that consistently perform well from those that may only have had a single good year. The analysis is based on three criteria: personal evaluations, public evaluations and the leadership diversity index (based on the percentage of women among top executives and board directors).”
Dollywood has also been named the No. 1 theme park in the U.S. by Tripadvisor for three of the last four years.
