Green?

Best Companies have taken some steps on green initiatives, but "green still has a long way to go," says Robert Preziosi, management professor at Nova Southeastern University in Davie. The lion's share — 88% — are happy to recycle and reduce waste. But just 30% are in facilities designed along green-building lines. Does a green mindset make for a more satisfied workforce? Yes, using recycled materials in products was a big differentiator between companies that made our list and those that didn't. But it worked the other way for companies that had green components to their manufacturing processes or services — 85% of the nominated companies that didn't make our list had such a green-minded outlook, a higher percentage than the 80% who did.
Productivity Boost “We have monthly staff meetings, but more uniquely, all 20 of us typically eat lunch together at one big table each day. It’s amazing the work that we get done during lunch.” — Stephanie Jones, marketing director, eBridge Solutions (No. 3, Small Companies) [Photo: Mark Wemple] |
