Interstates Companies Earns 2015 Top Workplaces Honor From Des Moines Register

Date Posted: September 21, 2015

Sioux Center, IA — September 21, 2015 — Interstates Companies has been awarded a 2015 Top Workplaces honor by the Des Moines Register.

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement.

Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest.

"And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics.

“But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health.

"And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees.

"Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.

Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”

“We are honored to be recognized by the Des Moines Register as one of Iowa’s Top Work Places,” says Scott Peterson, CEO for the Interstates Companies.

“We’ve always believed that Interstates is a great place to work, but it’s great to have a 3rd party recognize that.

"Our employees are the ones who make Interstates a great place to work and they deserve all the credit.

"It’s easy for everyone to say they’re a great place to work, but when your employees truly believe that, that’s when you’ve got something special.”
