September 7, 2012 – Lima, NY – Bristol ID Technologies named in Counselor Magazine as one of the 2012 Best Places to Work.
Counselor Magazine, published by the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) selected Bristol ID Technologies as one of the 2012 The Best Places to Work. The process began with over 300 companies completing the nomination process, Bristol ID placed 49th on the list of Best Places to Work.
“We are proud to be recognized as one of the 2012 Best Places to Work. Motivated and energized staff members tend to be the most loyal employees, said Diane Morsch, Bristol ID’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “The Best Places to Work companies for 2012 are focused on creating ways to ramp up their employee’s motivation and Bristol ID does an exceptional job at that. We take pride in what we do every day.”
During the application process Counselor had each company ask its employees to complete a 37-question online survey about their experience working at that organization. The survey measured 10 different areas: team effectiveness, employee loyalty, alignment with company goals, trust with coworkers, individual contribution recognition, manager effectiveness, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, satisfaction with current role, and satisfaction with company benefits.
The Counselor Best Places to Work companies know one thing: the importance of communication – in many cases, hyper-communication. Employees at Bristol ID say that the key to creating a great workplace culture is to ensure that everybody in the office and manufacturing plant are as informed as possible. Bristol ID, where communication thrives, depends on formal meetings to inform its employees about the business. Bristol’s meetings happen monthly, and they highlight the previous month’s performance (including both sales and profitability) and honor exceptional employee contributions to the company’s efforts. Each meeting is followed by a catered lunch or a cookout during the warmer months.
“All our employees know exactly how we are performing and they understand the influence they have on this, allowing them to take pride in their many achievements,” said Keith Yeates, Bristol ID’s President. “At Bristol ID, sharing with all employees exactly how they fit into the bigger picture of the company is highly valued.”
