ATLANTA, March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jim Ellis Automotive Group has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2022 distinction by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Top Workplaces award recognizes the elite workplaces in the Metro-Atlanta area that are based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC.
Jim Ellis Automotive Group has successfully served the Metro-Atlanta area for the last 50 years, offering customers a great place to shop and employees a great place to work. The Jim Ellis Promise to value all customers like family extends to employees as well in how they are treated. This commitment ensures a higher level of service to customers and a greater emphasis on things that help employees feel valued.
The workplace survey received and completed by employees was anonymous and measured 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: alignment, execution, and connection, to name a few. Employees had the opportunity to provide rankings on various items and also to provide additional written feedback/review of various company benefit offerings and employment satisfaction areas. Results came back landing Jim Ellis Automotive in a position of being a top workplace in Atlanta.
"During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business."
For over 50 years now, Jim Ellis Automotive Group has offered employment to Atlantans, providing numerous opportunities for career growth within the company.

Additionally, the Ellis family spends time acknowledging that the success of the company is largely due to the hard work and dedication of the employees.
The family-like atmosphere goes beyond just the Ellis family themselves.

The 'family feel' and strong foundation we were built on is what sets Jim Ellis apart, and I hope always will. The employees of Jim Ellis are the backbone and the heart of this company. We hope this is the first of many 'Top Workplaces' accolades. It is inspiring and humbling to see that our efforts to get to know each employee and offer opportunity for personal recognition, appreciation and growth do not go unnoticed.
