2008 Great Place to Work® Institute Awards
Each year Great Place to Work® Institute selects 150 companies to appear on our U.S. Best Companies lists, the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For® and the "50 Best Small & Medium Companies to Work for in America." While the lists rank the companies based on the scores of their Trust Index© employee survey and Culture Audit©, all of the companies on the lists - and many of those that do not make the lists - are extraordinary workplaces. These companies sport strong cultures centered on the values of Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride and Camaraderie, the five dimensions of the Great Place to Work® Model©, which together create the foundation of great workplaces and how we assess them.
It is an honor and a privilege to have insight into these remarkable workplaces and the combination of programs and practices that have employees saying "All things considered, this is a great place to work." The Great Place to Work® Awards recognize 5 companies with specific programs and practices that strike us as particularly distinctive and having a real and lasting impact on the employee experience. Award winners are selected by the following criteria:
- Appear on one of our U.S. Best Companies lists
- Enjoy an exceptionally high score on one dimension of the Trust Index© employee survey
- Detail a unique stand-out program or practice in their Culture Audit© submission
- Employee comments support the positive impact this program has had on the employee experience
Great Place to Work® Institute is pleased to recognize the following companies with Great Place to Work® Awards. Awards will be given out at a special ceremony on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 at the Great Place to Work® Conference in St. Louis. The award-winning companies will be on hand to accept their awards and also deliver Best Practice Breakout Sessions where you can learn more about these remarkable practices.
Congratulations to this year's winners!
