Best Places to work
Every year Merit Resources works with the Business Record, Risk Management Consultants and the Central Iowa Chapter of SHRM, by sponsoring a program to identify the best places to work in Central Iowa.
Participation in this program is open to companies in the Central Iowa area, with several ways of being recognized and rewarded for your efforts as business leaders to ensure your company is a great place to work!
There were several great participants in prior years! In addition to other great companies, we proudly recognize two of our clients Lakeview Surgery and Iowa Healthcare Association for their achievement as finalist companies in the "Best Places to Work in Central Iowa!" Congratulations!
Once a company decides to participate, employees receive a confidential e-mail inviting them to complete the survey via a secure website. This survey takes 8-10 minutes to complete and contains approximately 50 questions with ten themes:
- Alignment with goals
- Trust in senior leaders
- Manager effectiveness
- Trust with coworkers
- Team effectiveness
- Individual contribution
- Feeling valued
- Work engagement
- Retention risk
- People practices
The project is based on third-party, statistically sound methodology from Quantum Market Research (QMR), the survey division of Right Management Consultants, who has conducted similar studies across the country. Survey results are kept confidential.
After the surveys
Finalist companies are recognized in a special Business Record publication and honored in May in Des Moines where awards will be presented to the top three companies. Additionally, nine winning companies receive in-depth feedback on their survey results at no charge. All participating companies have an option of securing results from Right Management Consultants.
