Midland Information Resources Awarded Best Workplace in America by PIA
For a second year in a row, Midland Information Resources has been nationally recognized with the 2002 Best of the Best award in the Best Workplace in America competition sponsored by the Master Printers of America (MPA).
The MPA, a committee of industry leaders belonging to the Printing Industries of America (PIA), launched its Best Workplace in America Awards Program in 2000 as a way to spotlight the trendsetters among its membership that have cultivated a superior work environment through their culture, philosophies and human relations’ practices.
Again this year, Midland Information Resources received the Best Workplace in America - Best of the Best award, the highest distinction given through this program, along with 36 other companies including R.R. Donnelly & Sons, The Merrick Printing Company and the West Group.
The best workplace model is based on six components and judges primarily look for companies that incorporate extraordinary HR practices into their work environment. The six categories are:
• Work environment and organizational culture
• Training and development opportunities
• Financial security
• Personal / work-life balance
• Recognition and rewards
• Health and well-being programs
As part of the award, Midland Information Resources will be included in feature articles appearing in the November 2002 issue of Graphic Arts Monthly.
