Nominations open for Best Workplace in the Americas

The 2006 Best Workplace in the Americas program, honoring graphic arts companies’ exceptional human relations policies and practices, is accepting nominations for 2006.   

Developed to promote the notion that companies that provide a superior workplace maintain a successful workforce, the Best Workplace in the Americas allows companies to systematically compare their human relations programs and policies to other companies of similar size in the graphic arts industry. The program is run by the Human Relations Department of PIA/GATF.

The Best Workplace in the Americas program reviews the eight key areas that employees value when evaluating a place to work.  Nominees complete a simple survey that asks for information about:

         Management Practices
         Work Environment
         Training and Development Opportunities
         Workplace Health and Safety
         Financial Security
         Work-Life Balance
         Recognition and Rewards
         Health and Wellness Programs

To enter the 2006 competition, download the survey form from the Human Relations Section at http://www.gain.net/.  The competition is open to any graphic arts company or supplier to the industry from the United States and Canada.  Completed surveys must be received at PIA/GATF no later than September 15, 2006.
