Best companies to work for 2011

Best companies to work for 2011


In today’s competitive business environment, it is a distinction to be named one of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in Texas. This program was designed to recognize the best employers in the state, the ones that make it a priority to create better workplaces for their employees. Best Companies Group and its partners, the Texas Association of Business and the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, are breaking ground in Texas with this program.

The list of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in Texas 2011 program—published here for the first time in order of their ranking—names companies with the best practices among Texas employers. An awards luncheon, coordinated by the Texas Association of Business, was held in Austin on January 27, 2011 recognizing each of the 100 companies. Governor Rick Perry spoke at the special ceremony.

How the 100 Best Companies Were Selected
Best Companies Group, an independent organization managing this program in many states around the country and in Canada, launched its survey in Texas in the summer of 2010. According to Peter Burke, president of Best Companies Group, “Identifying outstanding employers is a very effective way of recognizing the importance of creating cultures where employees love to come to work. From recruiting advantages to increased morale, these organizations will enjoy many benefits from this prestigious distinction. All companies that participated also received the results of their employee survey, which will be used to help make their companies even better places to work.”

Companies that chose to participate completed a two-part survey, including an organizational overview of the company’s policies and procedures as well as an in-depth employee questionnaire. The survey, analysis, and list selection were conducted by Best Companies Group. Participation was available to for-profit and nonprofit companies with 15 or more employees working in Texas. Each company that participated, whether it made the Top 100 list or not, received an Employee Feedback Report. This report included a summary of the employee responses and state benchmarking.
