VERY YEAR FOR THE PAST
five years
PPB
has recog-
nized some of the best companies to work for based
on nominations from the employees themselves.
What makes some companies get it so right when
others are sputtering into a nosedive on employee
engagement? After having written about the honorees
in this competition for all these years, it appears to
come down to two things: creating a company culture
where people want to give their best and help one
another, and cultivating a positive workplace environment that’s
ripe with opportunities and fulfillment so employees want to come
to work—even on Mondays. The key behind both of those is lead-
ers who genuinely care about how employees feel when they leave
at the end of the day. Do they feel satisfied, valued, challenged,
engaged, motivated?
Of course, no company is infallible, but when it comes to creat-
ing a positive place to work, this year’s eight honorees definitely
have reason to celebrate. And so do their employees.
