The 2002 winners of our Award for Workplace Excellence were
announced in January 2003. This award is considered especially
prestigious as it is solely based on actual employee feedback.
The surveys measured employees' responses in categories such as
Communication, Values, Work Environment, Motivation, Honesty,
Integrity, Ethics, Commitment to Quality and Service, Benefits, and
Compensation. These companies have demonstrated their commitment to
employee satisfaction and a positive corporate culture:
Employee satisfaction as a predictor of success is a very popular
topic in corporate circles today. Those companies regarded as
"exceptional" places to work, by their employees, continue to be
leaders in their industries.

Quotes from Past Award-Winning
Organizations

"The information received
through the Employee Opinion Survey provided us with a
snapshot of the organization, allowing us to clearly and
quickly recognize areas of strengths and immediate areas
for improvement. Without the survey results, the
lengthy, time consuming process of identifying these
opportunities may have left us at a disadvantage in the
industry."
Merrill S. Wall, EVP/Director of
Human Resources, California Bank & Trust |

"It’s wonderful to know from
staffs’ anonymous comments, where we do exceptionally
well and where we can improve. Knowing exactly where
we need to improve allows us to keep this “top of
mind” as it becomes part of strategic plan with
everyone and showing how we all are part of that
(through actual numbers) makes everyone part of the
organization and it’s success."
DeeAnne Cloke, VP HRD,

"The employee opinion
survey has helped us better understand our
organizational culture, acknowledge what we do well,
and identify and address employee concerns, which
has led to a variety of workplace improvements. Not
only has our management team demonstrated commitment
to improvements, our staff has been engaged in the
improvement process and empowered to be part of the
solution."
Paul Van Dolah, EVP and
COO, Children's Hospital and Health Center |

"Simply asking all
employees how they feel about a variety of issues
reinforces that we are a company that cares about
and values their opinions. The survey offered
everyone a confidential way to communicate their
feelings. It also gave management a tangible
understanding of what we do well and where we can
improve. The key is how we've acted and will
continue to act on the information."

President and COO, The Green Companies |
