Indianapolis (PRWEB) May 8, 2009

For the fourth year in a row, Safety Management Group has been recognized by the Indiana Chamber as one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana.

Companies setting the standard with their workplace practices were honored in Indianapolis on May 5 before a record crowd at the Indiana Roof Ballroom as the Indiana Chamber unveiled rankings for the 70 companies from throughout the state that made the 2009 Best Places to Work in Indiana list (which was released March 2).

"Our associates should all be very proud of the company that they have created," says Kent Burget, President of Safety Management Group. "This is 'their' award and it very much reflects the positive environment you've created as an associate of Safety Management Group."

The 2009 Best Places to Work in Indiana program was presented by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and in partnership with Ready Indiana. It honors the top companies in the state, as determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. Winners were selected from two categories: small to medium-sized companies of between 25 and 249 employees, and large-sized companies consisting of 250 or more employees. Out-of-state parent companies were eligible to participate if at least 25 full-time employees are in Indiana.

The Best Companies Group, which handled the selection process, oversees similar programs in 19 other states.

"Each company on this list understands how important it is for the success of a business to have a culture that respects and values employees," states Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar. "These businesses demonstrated that in a variety of ways - from fostering open communication and teamwork to providing training opportunities and more unique job benefits."

More information about the Best Places to Work companies is available via a special section of the May/June issue of the Indiana Chamber's BizVoice® magazine, a statewide publication released tonight and accessible online at www. bizvoicemagazine. com.

All companies that participated in the 2009 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses according to their employees. In turn, this report can be used in developing or enhancing employee retention and recruitment programs.

Companies can sign up to be notified by e-mail when application details for the fifth annual competition are announced this summer.
