EXPRESS LOGISTICS NAMED #2 TOP WORKPLACE IN IOWA FOR SMALL BUSINESSES BY THE DES MOINES REGISTER
09/18/17
Express Logistics has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by The Des Moines Register, named as the #2 top workplace in Iowa for the Small Business category. This is the third consecutive year that Express Logistics has been named one of Iowa’s Top Workplaces.
The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
“It’s inspiring to be named a Top Workplace for a third year,” says Chad Rubner, president and owner of Express Logistics. “Knowing that this honor is based solely on employee feedback, it’s reassuring that our commitment to workplace culture is truly making a positive impact. As Express Logistics continues to grow, workplace culture remains a top priority, ensuring that we always emphasize treating people with respect, offer professional development opportunities and make the office a fun place to be.”
