State’s private sector digital services partner
of 20 years honored in 2017 awards program
Arkansas Information Consortium, LLC (AIC), the state’s official
provider of digital government services, was recently named one of
the 2017 Best Places to Work in Arkansas. This annual program, now
in its fifth year, was created by Arkansas Business and Best
Companies Group.
The Best Places to Work in Arkansas survey and awards program
was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best employers
in Arkansas that are benefitting the state’s economy, workforce,
and businesses. The 2017 list is made up of 36 companies, including
AIC.
“It is a tremendous honor to be recognized as one of the best
employers in the state, and it’s especially meaningful as we’re
celebrating our 20th year in business,” AIC General Manager Bob
Sanders said. “One of AIC’s founding principles is to be the best
place our employees have ever worked. We take that seriously
because we believe happy employees are motivated to produce
high-quality work and to provide great customer service. This award
validates the investment we’ve made into strengthening our culture
and taking care of our team.”
AIC is better known to its Arkansas government partners as the
Information Network of Arkansas (INA)—the Governor-appointed board
that oversees AIC’s contract with the state. Since AIC was awarded
its first eGovernment services contract with the state in 1997, the
Little Rock-based subsidiary of NIC Inc. has developed more than
850 Arkansas government websites and payment processing
applications, grown from four to 38 employees, and created dozens
of new technology jobs in Arkansas.
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the
following eligibility requirements:
- Be a for-profit, not-for-profit
business or government entity
- Be a publicly or privately held
business
- Have a facility in Arkansas
- Have at least 15 employees in
Arkansas
- Be in business a minimum of one
year.
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey
process to determine the Best Places to Work in Arkansas. The first
part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace
policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. This
part of the process was worth 25 percent of the total evaluation.
The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the
employee experience. This part of the process was worth 75 percent
of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top
companies and the final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the
overall registration and survey process in Arkansas, analyzed the
data, and determined the final rankings.
The overall winner and rankings will be revealed at a special
event on Sept. 20, 2017, and all winners will be published in a
special supplement of Arkansas Business on Sept. 25, 2017.
