Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Avondale (LHM Dodge Ram Avondale) recently earned a spot on the list of the 2018 Top Companies to Work for in Arizona for the third consecutive year.

This year’s other auto industry winners include Carvana, Digital Air Strike, DriveTime and General Motors Arizona IT Innovation Center.

A total of 100 companies are chosen each year. Along with all of the companies being honored with an awards breakfast reception held at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess hotel, each one was set to be featured in a special supplement for Sunday (June 10) issue of The Arizona Republic, as well as online at topcompanies.azcentral.com and www.BestCompaniesAZ.com.

“It is a privilege for our dealership to receive this honor for the third year in a row,”, LHM Dodge Ram Avondale general manager Michael Messina said in a news release. “We continue to realize how important employee engagement is to the growth of our dealership and to our success. When the entire team is involved, the desire to serve our customers in the best way possible comes through. Teaching and growing our employees and challenging them to reach the next level has paid dividends to enhance our culture of customer care.”

Along with its employee incentive programs for customers, LHM Dodge Ram Avondale said that it has been recognized for the no-cost, no-debt online college degree opportunities for employees and their families, as well as various company perks like: a holiday bonus program, employee appreciation and birthday celebrations, community involvement and annual pinewood derby family competition.

“The level of employee engagement among Arizona companies is about three times the national average, making it even more challenging for a company in Arizona to make this list,” said Denise Gredler, founder and chief executive offcier of BestCompaniesAZ. “Being named one of the best places to work in Arizona by your own employees is a positive endorsement of a company’s culture; it also presents a powerful opportunity to attract and retain the very best talent.”

Each year, Top Companies to Work for in Arizona companies are determined by anonymous and comprehensive employee surveys designed to measure company culture, work environment, leadership, and employee pride and satisfaction.
