2 BizVoice/Indiana Chamber – May/June 2015
“Why isn’t my organization on the Best Places to Work in
Indiana list?”
That is one of the most common questions heard each year at
this time. The answer, in nearly all cases, is a simple one:
Your business likely did not apply. It’s a simple process – one
that is clearly explained at
– and one we encourage you to pursue in the years ahead.
The winners are chosen through expert analysis of
employer questionnaires and employee surveys by Best
Companies Group (BCG), which conducts similar
programs in many other states and industries. We’re proud to have partnered with BCG
over the last 10 years to recognize outstanding Indiana workplaces.
We look forward to even more applicants and winners in 2016. But before moving
ahead, this issue honors – for the third year in a row – 100 Indiana organizations. What
will you find in a record-setting 57 pages of coverage in this issue?
• Company profiles
• A roundtable discussion that includes representatives of the top-ranked businesses in
all four categories
• Feature stories that dig deeper on honorees of all sizes and locations throughout the state
• Getting to Know profiles, guest columns, winner quotes and much more
Special recognition goes to the two organizations – Edward Jones and Katz, Sapper &
Miller – that have earned their spot on the list all 10 years. Others that have achieved
Hall of Fame and Pinnacle status are highlighted on Page 16.
While the Best Places to Work coverage is extensive, we don’t overlook Indiana Vision
2025. Attractive Business Climate is the featured driver, with a series of stories
(beginning on Page 78) focused on health care. Hospital rankings and unique
partnerships, workplace wellness from a state government perspective and campus/
community initiatives are among the features.
The County Focus shifts to the southwest to Knox and the community of Vincennes.
Business growth and a downtown revitalization are among the developments in the
home of Indiana’s first state capital.
