WALL STREET JOURNAL AND WINNING WORKPLACES RECOGNIZE TOP SMALL BUSINESSES WITH GREAT WORKPLACES
NEW YORK (Oct. 1, 2007) — The Wall Street Journal and Winning Workplaces, a nonprofit whose mission is to help the leaders of small and midsize organizations create better workplaces, have teamed up to create their first annual list of the best small workplaces in the U.S. in a report called Top Small Workplaces. The 15 winners are featured in the Journal Report on Small Business in today’s print and online editions of The Wall Street Journal. The Top Small Workplaces list features exceptional small employers in the U.S., which include private, nonprofit and publicly held organizations. The Journal Report spotlights those small businesses that have built workplace environments that encourage collegiality, professional growth and provide an atmosphere and benefits that make their employees want to stay. “Small businesses continue to be the engine of economic growth in the U.S.,” said Marcus W. Brauchli, managing editor, The Wall Street Journal. “By providing our readers with this list of top workplaces, the Journal is able to capture the importance of what small businesses have to offer their employees and clients, particularly in their workplace practices. These small companies are leading innovators and tend to be role models for larger companies by creating an environment that encourages productive behavior.” “Each of the 15 Top Small Workplaces winners has a great story to tell," said Ken Lehman, Winning Workplaces founder and board chair. "The winners come from very different business sectors and are geographically diverse. But, they share a commitment to valuing, trusting, and respecting their employees, and viewing them as the key to achieving business success. These winners should inspire small businesses everywhere that they, too, can become great workplaces." The Journal and Winning Workplaces began soliciting nominations last fall, receiving 850 recommendations. The nominees were asked to fill out full-length applications – of which 437 were completed – and the batch was culled to 35 finalists. A national panel of small-business experts was chosen by The Wall Street Journal and Winning Workplaces to judge the finalists. The workplace winners were selected based on both metrics and qualitative assessment of their success in creating workplaces that nurture, challenge and reward employees.
