Companies that have great cultures, engaged employees and lots of success sometimes make it look easy. In almost every case, it is not. Most successes are hard earned and company culture is often constructed brick by brick. The 20th Annual Best Places to Work in Indiana program ranks a record 150 companies that have figured out the winning dynamic. United Consulting is a case in point. Building its world-class culture has been a 25-year process. This year marks its 15th time on the Best Places to Work in Indiana list and the first year the Indianapolis firm has landed the top spot. Despite its success, the company’s president says the evolution never stops.
The current edition of BizVoice® also contains several additional features. They include:
