CustomInk.com Ranks #3 in National List of Great Places to Work
McLean, VA - September 8, 2010 - The 7th Annual Great Place to Work(R) Rankings: 2010 Best Small & Medium Workplaces Presented by Entrepreneur(R) was announced today and Custom Ink was ranked #3 on the list. The list represents the best Workplaces separated into two categories: small companies with 50-250 employees and medium companies with 251-999 employees. Custom Ink is included in the list of medium companies. Great Place to Work(R) Institute, based in San Francisco, produces the Best Small & Medium Workplaces list each year.
This honor highlights the trust Custom Ink team members - or Inkers, as they call themselves - have in the company. Trust is an essential part of Custom Ink's success. As Marc notes on the website, Custom Ink recognizes how much trust customers place in the company when ordering custom goods. That trust is prevalent within the company too. Custom Ink trusts team members to do a good job, work as a team, engage and connect with customers order-by-order, and always keep the customer's best interest at the forefront of all decisions. In turn, Custom Ink provides the tools needed for Inkers to do a good job, lives by and encourages teamwork, and involves Inkers as an integral part of the company's ongoing success - the makings of a great place to work.
Custom Ink was selected as a winner for this list by participating in the Great Place to Work(R) Institute's selection process which includes a survey of Custom Ink's team based on the Trust Index(c) and a completed questionnaire by Custom Ink about programs and company practices. The Great Place to Work(R) Institute evaluated the company based on five areas: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. The Institute's unique methodology measures the level of trust that exists between team members and management, the pride the team expresses about the company and the camaraderie they share.
"Trust-based workplace cultures make a better place to work for employees and create a competitive advantage for the organization," said Ricardo Lange, President of Great Place to Work(R) Institute. "All of the companies selected for the Great Place to Work(R) Rankings: 2010 Best Small & Medium Workplaces Presented by Entrepreneur(R) have cultivated a trust based work culture and have accomplished a lot of hard work in order to make it onto the list."
