JOHNSTOWN, Ohio, Jan. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Apeks Supercritical is among the very few entities in the legal cannabis industry where employee benefits, and incentives meet or exceed standards set by large mainstream American employers, according to mg Magazine's 2019 list of Top 50 Cannabis Employers.
Among the reasons Apeks was chosen was for its ongoing commitment to employees through its peer to peer rewards program where employees nominate colleagues for going above and beyond their job description.
"When we started Apeks almost 20 years ago, we wanted to create an atmosphere beyond just a bunch of people working together. We wanted to create a workplace with a family feel that would encourage as much collaboration from our entire team as possible," said Apeks founder and General Manager Andy Joseph who built the company with his wife and fellow engineer, Kristen Joseph.
"We're proud to be recognized as one of the top employers in the cannabis industry. Our success is a testament to the hard work and innovation of our entire team," said Kristen Joseph, who serves as the company's Director of Quality.
Among the perks and benefits offered by this year's honorees are comprehensive insurance plans; health-and-wellness programs; flexible working hours; generous paid time off, including for volunteer work and parental leave; profit sharing; team-building activities; and commitment to social and environmental causes. Honorees range from single-office operations employing as few as twenty workers to multinational corporations employing hundreds.
"This year's honorees set a high bar not only for cannabis, but for other industries, as well," said Darren Roberts, chief executive officer for mg's parent company, CANN Media Group. "Each company on the list realizes valued employees and communities make a significant contribution to their success."
mg Magazine's staff and advisors annually evaluate hundreds of nominations from all sectors of the industry, researching public and private resources and confidential employee statements to narrow the list to those that best demonstrate exceptional commitment to corporate social responsibility, workplace culture, and employee satisfaction.
