Finalists Announced for 2008 Best Companies to Work For in Colorado
DENVER (May 30, 2008) – The finalists for the 3rd annual 2008 Best Companies to Work for in Colorado have been announced. ** The complete list of finalists (listed alphabetically) is at the end of this release. **
The rankings for the 2008 Best Companies to Work for in Colorado will be announced at an awards luncheon at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 31, 2008, at the Sewell Ballroom at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. The event’s master of ceremonies will be 9News Business News Reporter Simone Wilkinson. Event tickets and corporate tables can be purchased at www.COSHRM.org.
The awards program is the 3rd annual statewide program of its kind in Colorado, and is modeled after Fortune Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work for in America,” and other statewide Best Companies to Work programs.
Best Companies to Work for in Colorado is a collaborative effort among its many partners, which include the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Colorado State Council, as well as the 6 local SHRM chapters, Jobing.com, Colorado Biz Magazine, and the Best Companies Group.
The Best Companies Group, assisted by ModernThink, LLC, conducted an assessment of participating companies that was a two-part process designed to gather detailed data about each company. The two part comprehensive survey requires the employer to complete a questionnaire, and also gathers significant feedback from the employees of that company.
Listings of the finalists from both the medium-sized and large-sized companies, arranged alphabetically, are included with this release. Company ranking in each category will be announced at the July 31, 2008 awards luncheon.
