Global association stands out for employee
satisfaction, engagement and culture
TEMPE, Ariz., June 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Arizona
Republic and Republic Media announced today that Institute for
Supply Management® (ISM®) has earned a
spot on the list of 2019 azcentral.com Top Companies to Work for
in Arizona for the first time,
as one of the only not-for-profit associations. Based in
Tempe, AZ with a 104-year history,
ISM has a deep connection to Arizona and sourcing 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," said ISM
CEO Tom Derry. "Our top talent
contributes directly to how we as an organization thrive, fulfill
our mission to lead the supply management profession and support
our global members."
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."

reception on June 12, 2019 and will
