BGZ brands Honored as a Best Workplace in Second Annual Inc. Magazine's 2017 Rankings
Lehi, Utah (PRWEB) June 01, 2017 -- BGZ brands™, the parent company of mobile accessory brands: BodyGuardz®, Lander® and MOXYO®, has been named to Inc. magazine’s Best Workplaces for 2017, the publication’s second annual ranking in the fast-growing private company sector.
Beginning today, BGZ brands is part of a prominent feature on inc.com, which highlights the results of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits.
Inc.’s Best Workplaces list magnifies how innovative companies, like BGZ brands, raise the bar for hiring and retaining the best talent. To become a company that workers want to be part of, it’s more than just good pay and good perks – it requires clear purpose, a sense of humor and leadership that makes the two work together.
"We are thrilled to make Inc.'s best workplaces list, as it further validates our passionate commitment to our people," said Kirk Feller, BGZ brands' chairman and CEO. "We empower our team with freedom and flexibility to get outside of a problem, to really dive deep in order to create exciting products that excel in terms of quality and innovation."
The 2017 Inc. Best Workplaces Awards assessed applicants on the basis of benefits offered and employees’ responses to a unique, 30-question survey fielded by each of the applying companies.
While researching each entry, Inc. and Quantum Workplace saw distinct themes develop:
*BGZ brands successfully cultivates creativity and productivity by actively encouraging its people to go beyond standard operating procedures in order to envision new product solutions.
*Strong company cultures breed stunning individual and team performance.
*When employees feel valued by their organization, they are far more likely to be engaged. This single factor proved to be one of the largest drivers of employee engagement.
“By introducing an employee survey into this year’s Best Workplaces selection process, we’ve really raised the bar. Companies that don’t score at the very top of their peer group don’t make the cut. So, our hats are off to the winners," said Eric Schurenberg, Inc's president and editor in chief. "BGZ brands excels at engaging their workers, making them feel appreciated, and aligning them behind a mission. And remember, that’s not just our opinion: The employees told us that themselves.”
