Tap Into Your Pride

Company pride is sometimes overlooked as a tool to motivate employees and increase bottom-line results. Companies that have a "special" culture sometimes fail to tell their wonderful story and miss an opportunity to give the company a boost of energy.

There are many opportunities out there for companies to be recognized locally, regionally and nationally. One of the best know awards is given by Winning Workplaces in conjunction with Inc. magazine.

The Top Small Company Workplaces award has been given for several years and Van Meter Industrial, a Cedar Rapids ESOP company, was one of the award winners in 2010. Here are the details for 2011: 

• Winners will be featured in the June 2011 issue of Inc. magazine, the premier publication for entrepreneurs and business owners. Winners will also be featured on Inc.'s and Winning Workplaces' websites and will gain additional exposure through a nationally distributed press release.
