As famed poet and playwright Oscar Wilde once said, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” So, if you’re a business owner or operator and looking for a company – or companies – to imitate, a good place to start would be with the most recent edition of BizVoice® magazine, which chronicles the 125 employers recognized in the 18th Annual Best Places to Work in Indiana program. One story: Centric Consulting has leveraged its philosophy of creating “unmatched experiences” to fuel its growing success. The employees at the technology consulting firm do that not only for customers but each other as well. That focus has vaulted Centric to the top spot among large organizations on this year’s list. You can also read all about how the Best Places program works and what the other winners are doing.
The current edition of BizVoice contains several additional features. They include:
Great Expectations: The departure of two blue-chip companies is enough to worry almost any community. But Hancock County is not just any community. It’s one with numerous new amenities, a soaring population and a rapidly expanding business base. There are countless projects either underway or in the planning stage in the county just east of Indianapolis to keep this already fast-growing area rocketing forward as an attractive landing spot for residents and visitors alike.
Bon Appétit, Again: It’s been a rough few years for the restaurant industry. Abrupt closures. Altered hours of operation. Supply and worker shortages. But with Hoosiers hungry to eat out again, four savvy restaurant operators explain how they’ve managed not only to survive but thrive in this tumultuous business sector. It hasn’t been without risk and some losses, but these eateries have high hopes for the year ahead.
Small Firms, Big Results: Just because an organization is relatively small, doesn’t mean it can’t have big dreams and lofty ambitions. And it certainly doesn’t mean it can’t be a great place to work. A record 72 small companies (designated for those with an Indiana employee count of 15-74) made their way onto this year’s list of Best Places to Work in Indiana. Their employees say there are distinct advantages to working for a smaller firm and list an array of reasons why they love their employer.
