Irving, TX (PRWEB) November 5, 2008 -- Aquire, the global leader in workforce planning and management solutions, has been named for the third consecutive year as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in Texas. The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of TEXAS MONTHLY, the Texas Association of Business (TAB), the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management (TSC-SHRM) and Best Companies Group. The official rankings will be published in the February 2009 edition of Texas Monthly.

This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Texas, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses.

"This award is a reflection of the company as a whole but more importantly the people who are the company," said Tom McKeown, President and Chief Operating Officer for Aquire. "You will not find a more innovative group in this industry. Our employees take great pride in their work and upholding the company's core values with respect, teamwork, integrity and innovation."

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Companies to Work for in Texas. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Texas and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
