Dur-A-Flex, Inc., a leader in commercial, industrial and institutional seamless, resinous flooring, is the only manufacturer to be included on this year’s list of Best Places to Work in Connecticut. The ninth annual program was created by the Hartford Business Journal, Best Companies Group and sponsored by Hooker & Holcombe Companies.
“Employee involvement and giving is what makes Dur-A-Flex unique and the best place to arrive at daily to bring one’s passion toward common goals. To be the state’s only manufacturer to make the list, makes us even more proud,” says Peter V. Ferris, president and chief operating officer for Dur-a-Flex, Inc. “Our philosophy creates an awareness that one’s role must be greater than what most people perceive as their ‘job’ based on a description or function. The giving aspect of Dur-A-Flex becomes the reward of working here and in realizing the satisfaction that comes through being able to give to fellow employees, the community and our industry,” he adds.
This survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best employers in Connecticut, benefiting the state’s economy, workforce, and businesses. The list is made up of 35 companies split into two categories: 20 small/medium-sized companies (15-199 US employees) and 15 large-sized companies (200 or more US employees). Dur-A-Flex, Inc. is in the small/medium category.
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business or government entity;
- Be a publicly or privately held business;
- Have a facility in Connecticut;
- Have at least 15 employees in Connecticut;
- Be in business a minimum of 1 year.
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Connecticut. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Connecticut, analyzed the data, and determined the final rankings.
