Distributor 4imprint, Inc. (UPIC: 4imprint) has been named one of the 10 Best Workplaces in advertising and marketing by Great Place to Work® and Fortune. This is 4imprint’s second year on that list, which was published on the Fortune website August 22.
The Great Place to Work Institute is a global research and management consultancy with expertise on workplace transformation and a mission to improve society by creating better workplaces. To build the list, Great Place to Work reviews anonymous Trust Index survey responses from Great Place to Work-certified companies in advertising and marketing. The survey asks employees to rate how often they encounter the trust-building behaviors that create great workplaces, such as management’s honesty and ethics, team camaraderie, clear expectations, and fair and respectful treatment.
“We often hear stories of how associates go above and beyond, doing right by our customers and each other,” says Kevin Lyons-Tarr, CEO, 4imprint. “It’s humbling to know that those stories are part of something larger—the kind of workplace where success is achieved through creating an environment where people look forward to coming to work, where they can be themselves and feel good about the work they do for our customers and our community.”
The 2016 Best Workplaces in Advertising & Marketing list is based on feedback from more than 4,000 employees at Great Place to Work-certified companies. At 4imprint, 484 employees completed the surveys, with 94 percent of associates rating the company as a great workplace.
“Personal relationships fuel the creative process and client service alike at the best workplaces in advertising and marketing,” said Kim Peters, executive vice president of Great Place to Work. “Employees at these standout organizations speak of high levels of trust and camaraderie—traits essential to innovation and exploring ideas as a team.”
