DAXKO Again Named a "Best Small Company to Work for in America"
6/29/09
DAXKO has been recognized as one of the top 50 best small and medium companies to work for in America by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Great Place to Work Institute, Inc. (GPTW). Winners were announced this morning at SHRM’s 61st Annual Conference in New Orleans, the largest gathering of HR professionals in the world.
SHRM and GPTW have revealed the nation’s top 25 small and top 25 medium-sized employers for the last six years. This year, DAXKO ranked No. 10 in the award’s small company category.
“We’re excited to be recognized with this award for the second straight year,” said DAXKO CEO David Gray. “As we’ve grown significantly, we’ve worked hard to ensure we don’t lose sight of what’s gotten us here. We have an exceptional team, and we fully intend to maintain a culture that provides them with career-defining opportunities in an interesting and rewarding workplace.
Hundreds of companies across the United States submitted entries in the very detailed and competitive analysis conducted by GPTW. The rankings are primarily determined from employee opinion surveys that analyze an organization’s workplace culture. Employee-survey responses count for two-thirds of an organization’s score. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organization practices and perspectives from the leadership team, which accounted for one-third of the group’s score.
Articles and profiles of the winners will appear in the June issue of Fortune Small Business, in the July issue of HR Magazine, and on CNNMoney.com. Full coverage of the award ceremony and other details are available at www.shrm.org and www.greatplacetowork.com.
