Despite a tough economy, agency maintains employee-centric culture DENVER, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The Integer Group, one of the largest promotional and retail marketing agencies in the United States, is the 9th best medium-sized company to work for in America. Integer has offices in Denver, Dallas, and Des Moines and has made the Great Place to Work(R) Institute list for the previous four years. "This recognition is important because 75 percent of the score is based on the opinions and comments from our employees," said Mike Sweeney, CEO, Integer Group. "Although we can't control what is happening outside our company, we can continue to focus on maintaining a unique and strong culture for our employees." Each year, The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Great Places to Work Institute (GPTW) compile a list of the 50 best small- and medium-sized companies to work for in America. Integer was recognized today at the SHRM Annual Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The winning companies are selected based on several criteria, with the primary importance placed on employees' responses to an independent survey conducted by SHRM and GPTW. Integer employees are empowered to create the culture that surrounds them. The company's open-door communication policy and monthly "roundtables" allow employees to share what's important to them. Employees' interests in working for a socially responsible company prompted several sustainability initiatives, including a comprehensive recycling program, and carpool and bike-to-work programs. Integer employees also have a voice when it comes to the company's charitable donations and volunteer activities. In addition, training and professional development is a strong focus, as employees are encouraged to continually develop their skills.
