NRCA member The Garland Co. Inc., Cleveland, has been honored as a 2018 Top Workplace by The Plain Dealer among northeast Ohio organizations, according to www.constructionmagnet.com.
Garland placed sixth in the Small Companies category—up from 27th place in 2017—and is the oldest company to appear on the Small Companies list. Garland has been in the Top Workplace rankings for seven consecutive years.
"This is a special honor for us because it belongs to our outstanding team," says Garland Vice President and General Manager Scott Craft. "Even with a history as long as Garland's, going all the way back to 1895, it is our people who continue to keep the fire going."
The Plain Dealer ranked 150 Cleveland companies in the 9th annual Top Workplace ranking. The list is compiled by The Plain Dealer in partnership with Energage, an employee research and consulting firm. The results are based solely on employee feedback regarding topics such as employee engagement, leadership and effectiveness.
"Becoming a Top Workplace isn't something organizations can buy," says Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. "It's an achievement organizations have to work for."
