Chamber recognizes the best of the best with annual Best Places To Work Awards
Jeff Williams of Offset Strategic Services may have said it best after his company was recognized as a “Best Place to Work.”
“We’re not satisfied,” he said. “We’re going to strive to get better every day.”
Offset Strategic Services was a Silver Award winner in Thursday’s annual Huntsville/Madison County Chamber’s Best Places to Work Awards in a packed Von Braun Center Saturn Ballroom.
Hosted by Stephanie Kennedy-Mell, co-owner of Church Street Family Hospitality, and Tracy Doughty, president & COO of Huntsville Hospital, the event celebrates businesses that create an excellent workplace culture through employee engagement, strong leadership and communication.
Local companies who have earned the designation as a Best Place for Working Parents – a program now in its third year in the Huntsville area – were also recognized Thursday.
Nearly 200 companies were nominated and 97 qualified as contenders for the award, according to Ashley Engles-Ross, the chamber’s vice president for small business. More than 6,700 completed surveys were tabulated by Quantum Workplace to determine the winning companies.
Companies take the competition seriously – it’s definitely a matter of pride to win.
“We try to ensure every employee is valued,” Williams said. “And their input is welcomed.”
