JA Benefits makes its way to the top spot for the first time, as does Moser Consulting, though both companies have been regular honorees in the Best Places to Work in Indiana program in years’ past.
And it’s two firsts for Group Management Services: the company’s first time on the Best Places to Work list also sees it securing first place. Microsoft, on the other hand, is no stranger to No. 1, having been in the top spot seven of the nine times it has entered in Indiana.
“Congratulations to these top companies for creating and sustaining workplace cultures where employees flourish. By emphasizing personal and professional development, a healthy work-life balance and offering perks and benefits that make an impact in the lives of employees, they demonstrate their dedication to listening to and respecting their employees,” says Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar. “They recognize the significance of valuing their employees and how that positively impacts their business.
“We hear repeatedly from Hoosier employers that having a talented workforce is the most critical issue they face. The 125 companies honored on the Best Places list have made their people the top priority through policies and practices that emphasize attracting, retaining and developing this most valuable resource.”
Winning companies ranged in employee count (at the time of application) from 15 to more than 1,800. Out-of-state parent companies were eligible to participate if at least 15 full-time employees are in Indiana.
Organizations that have displayed sustained excellence during the program’s history are also awarded Best Places to Work in Indiana Hall of Fame and Pinnacle designations.
Hall of Fame companies are those that have been named a Best Place to Work in Indiana at least 60% of the time in the program’s history. Two companies – Edward Jones and Katz, Sapper & Miller – have made the Best Places to Work list all 14 years of the program.
The Pinnacle designation is reserved for those that have finished first in their category three or more times in a five-year period. The four Pinnacle companies in the program’s history are: Edward Jones, Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., Microsoft and Sikich.
These top companies in the state were determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. The Best Companies Group, which handled the selection process, oversees similar programs in 25 other states.
All companies participating in the 2019 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses according to their employees, who are surveyed anonymously.
The report is often used in developing or enhancing employee retention and recruitment programs.
