Best Workplace Deadline September 30, 2010

Printers across the country consistently rank recruiting and retaining qualified employees as one of their key challenges. Although the problem may seem daunting the answer is really very simple — maintain a successful workforce by providing them a superior workplace.

While all employees have different values when it comes to what they want in a work environment, there is quite a bit of common ground. And, it is not all centered around money. Workers today look for a variety of qualities in a workplace. Eight key human relations areas that employees look at when evaluating a current or prospective workplace are:

1. Management Practices
2. Work Environment
3. Training and Development Opportunities
4. Financial Security
5. Work-Life Balance
6. Recognition and Rewards
7. Health and Wellness Programs
8. Workplace Health and Safety

Developed to help your company, the program evaluates your success in these eight human relations areas — The Best Workplace in the Americas Awards. This program is open to any printing company or supplier to the industry.

Any U.S. or Canadian graphic communications company, or supplier to the graphic communication industry, can enter by completing the two-part survey form. Simply download the survey forms from the upper right-hand side of this page and mail your entry along with payment to:
