Minnesota Business Again Names Octane Fitness One of 100 Best Companies to Work For
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (PRWEB) April 07, 2015 -- Octane Fitness, LLC, the leading brand of zero-impact cardiovascular equipment, was named one of the 100 Best Companies to Work by Minnesota Business for the fourth consecutive year. Recognizing small, midsize and large businesses in Minnesota, these awards are based on leadership, benefits, work environment, innovative training programs and employee satisfaction.
“Our mission is to fuel lives, and that begins with our employees and an incredible culture of collaboration, commitment and fun,” said Dennis Lee, president and CEO of Octane Fitness. “This award continues to celebrate what keeps Octane Fitness fueled and successful.”
To determine the winners, an independent research firm distributes an anonymous online questionnaire to company employees, and then tabulates results in areas of work environment, employee benefits and overall employee happiness. This year, company participation was reported to be very high and competition intense.
Minnesota Business will present the 2015 100 Best Companies to Work For awards at a special event on June 4 at the Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, and winning companies will be featured in the June issue of the magazine.
