“It’s such an honor to be recognized as one of the country’s best and brightest places to work,” said John Damgaard, CEO of VelocityEHS. “I’m immensely proud of what our team has accomplished during such a historically challenging year; even during a global pandemic our employees displayed extraordinary tenacity to accelerate our company’s growth and lay the groundwork for another successful year in 2021.”
Organizations are assessed for the award based on categories such as communication, work-life balance, employee education, diversity, recognition, retention and more. One objective of the program is to not only improve the workplace for employees but to raise the benchmark for company practices. To be considered, companies submit a questionnaire about their human resource practices and employees are also asked to complete a questionnaire about what it is like to work there.
