I’ve worked for companies that emphasize employee growth and development, and it makes you work all the harder. At least that’s been my experience. The company wants you to succeed, and as a result you want to succeed. But I’ve also worked for companies who don’t invest in their employees. It’s a tough place to be.
So the ones that do invest deserve be recognized. This morning I attended 2007 Helios HR Apollo Awards breakfast ceremony where four companies who are committed to offering meaningful workplace experiences were honored.
The award winners are:
Emerging Company
20 and fewer employees:
Market Connections, Inc. http://www.marketconnectionsinc.com/
Small Company
21-100 employees:
SPADAC Inc. http://www.spadac.com/
Mid-Size Company
of 101-1,000 employees:
Dimension Data North America www.dimensiondata.com/na/
Large Company
1,001 or more employees:
ICF International http://www.icfi.com/
These companies lead the efforts in establishing best practices. Our hats go off to each and every winner. Congratulations and thank you for your commitment.
