In order to be nominated, each organization must be independent, with no more than $200 million in annual revenues and 500 or fewer employees. Applicants were drawn from US companies and across a broad spectrum of industries to include private, nonprofit and publicly held organizations.

The Program’s selection committee considered small employers that foster teamwork, flexibility, high productivity and innovation. In addition, organizations must also help their employees grow personally and professionally, while providing benefits that improve their lives and communities.

The Winning Workplaces evaluation criteria included many of the practices that Cargas Systems embraces including: open communication, teamwork, healthy work/life balance, career advancement, strong core values and team-based compensation. Cargas Systems considers these measures a key link to their average employee tenure of 7 years.
