Institute for Supply Management® Earns Recognition as a Top Place to Work in Arizona
Global association stands out for second consecutive year on employee engagement
TEMPE, Ariz., June 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Arizona Republic and Republic Media announced that Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) has earned a spot on the list of 2020 azcentral.com Top Companies to Work for in Arizona for the second consecutive year, as one of the only not-for-profit associations. Based in Tempe, AZ with a 105-year history, ISM has a deep connection to Arizona and local talent.
This highly selective list is the result of anonymous and comprehensive employee surveys measuring culture, work environment, leadership, and employee pride and satisfaction, combined with rigorous evaluations of workplace practices, policies, perks and demographics.
"We are honored to be included on this list of leading workplaces in Arizona for the second year," said ISM CEO Tom Derry. "Our top talent contributes directly to how we thrive as an organization and fulfill our mission to lead and serve the supply management profession."
Survey results indicate that role satisfaction, enjoying the people at the organization, a positive work environment, and enjoying the type of work done were among the highest ISM scores. ISM's company culture is one that supports work-life integration, having fun, and producing meaningful work that contributes to ISM's mission.
"This year, 125 companies were selected based on the results of a very high favorable employee survey scores averaging 90% overall survey results and an impressive 91% overall employee engagement. This level of performance for Arizona companies is about three times the national average when compared to Gallup's recent reporting of US engagement at about 33% favorable," says Denise Gredler, Founder & CEO for BestCompaniesAZ, program consulting partner. "Top Companies status presents a powerful opportunity to attract and retain the very best talent."
The "Top Companies" were published in a special supplement in the June 14, 2020 issue of The Arizona Republic, as well as online at azcentral.com and www.BestCompaniesAZ.com.
