PHOENIX -

Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Avondale recently announced that it has once again made it onto The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com’s 2017 list of Top Companies to Work For in Arizona.

The dealership is on the list for the second consecutive year. A total of 100 companies are chosen each year.

All of the companies were honored at an awards breakfast reception held at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess hotel on Thursday.

“It is incredible to see that a culture based on the values of stewardship, hard work, integrity and service can make such a difference both in the lives of our employees and our customers,” LHM Dodge Ram Avondale general manager Mike Messina said in a news release.

“As our employees embrace the culture that we are striving to achieve, it drives them to succeed. In turn, it drives our business, making us the best place in town to work and do business. It is extremely gratifying to see the many lives that have been enriched as this dealership continues to evolve.”

LHM Dodge Ram Avondale said it was recognized for its employee incentive programs such as the dealership’s holiday bonus program, employee appreciation celebrations and Saturday lunches.

Each company on the list completed a two-part assessment process conducted by Best Companies Group (BCG), an independent workplace research firm.

BCG used the combined data from both parts of the assessment process to select the 100 companies honored.

The process began with BCG’s Employer Questionnaire, which asked about benefits, human resourse policies and the fun things employers do for their employees, according to LHM Dodge Ram Avondale.

Following the first assessment, companies were asked to take the Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey.

The survey measures employee experience in the following nine core focus areas:

  1. leadership and planning
  2. corporate culture and communications
  3. role satisfaction
  4. work environment
  5. relationship with supervisor
  6. training
  7. development and resources
  8. pay and benefits
  9. overall engagement

The 100 companies are to be named in a special supplement in the July 2 issue of The Arizona Republic, as well as at topcompanies.azcentral.com and www.BestCompaniesAZ.com.
