Quotes from Past Award Winners

"The information received through the Employee Opinion Survey provided us with a snapshot of the organization, allowing us to clearly and quickly recognize areas of strengths and immediate areas for improvement. Without the survey results, the lengthy, time consuming process of identifying these opportunities may have left us at a disadvantage in the industry."


Merrill S. Wall, EVP/Director of Human Resources, California Bank & Trust
  


"It’s wonderful to know from staffs’ anonymous comments, where we do exceptionally well and where we can improve. Knowing exactly where we need to improve allows us to keep this “top of mind” as it becomes part of strategic plan with everyone and showing how we all are part of that (through actual numbers) makes everyone part of the organization and it’s success."


DeeAnne Cloke, VP HRD, Columbia Credit Union

"The employee opinion survey has helped us better understand our organizational culture, acknowledge what we do well, and identify and address employee concerns, which has led to a variety of workplace improvements. Not only has our management team demonstrated commitment to improvements, our staff has been engaged in the improvement process and empowered to be part of the solution."

Paul Van Dolah, EVP and COO, Children's Hospital and Health Center



 "Simply asking all employees how they feel about a variety of issues reinforces that we are a company that cares about and values their opinions. The survey offered everyone a confidential way to communicate their feelings. It also gave management a tangible understanding of what we do well and where we can improve. The key is how we've acted and will continue to act on the information."


David Caligaris, President and COO, The Green Companies
