Midland Information Resources Named Best Workplace in the Americas for the 15th Consecutive Year
Midland Information Resources, a division of Elanders Americas, has been awarded the designation, Best Workplace in the Americas 2015, for their exemplary human resources practices. Begun to specifically honor printing companies that provide a superior work environment, the Best Workplace in the Americas program was created in 2000 and is run by Printing Industries of America.
A panel of highly respected HR professionals with decades of experience in the graphic arts industry reviewed the submissions. All of the winning companies actively show their employees that they care about their work environment, their personal goals and ambitions, as well as the needs of the company. Applicants were judged on eight criteria: Management Practices; Work Environment; Training and Development Opportunities; Financial Security; Workplace Health and Safety; Work-Life Balance; Recognition and Rewards; and Health and Wellness Programs.
“We are honored to receive this award for the fifteenth straight year,” said Laura Soderstrom, Midland’s Human Resources Manager. “The Best Workplace in the Americas has always been and will continue to be quite the recognition within our industry. We are very proud of the work we do, and are constantly looking for ways to improve the time employees spend both at the office and outside of the office. Receiving this award is a true sign that we continue to evolve our workplace for all employees and refuse to rest on our laurels. We look forward to continuing our pursuit of The Best Workplace in the Americas for years to come.”
Michael Makin, president and CEO of Printing Industries of America, agrees. “Best Workplace in the Americas winners routinely exhibit the highest commitment to success in many ways, but particularly through their employees. Congratulations to Midland Information Resources.”
