DENVER – The Colorado Chamber and the SHRM Colorado State Council today announced the ranked list of winners for the second annual “Companies that Rock the Rockies” program, which recognizes Colorado employers creating the best workplace cultures for their employees.
“As the statewide voice of business, we are proud to celebrate companies that are setting the standard for workplace culture in Colorado,” said Colorado Chamber President and CEO Loren Furman. “Across every corner of our state, these employers are redefining what it means to invest in people and create workplaces where employees can succeed and grow. Their commitment to strong cultures, innovation and employee well-being is helping shape the future of work in Colorado. Congratulations to this year’s winners for building workplaces that truly Rock the Rockies.”
Each company was selected through a comprehensive two-part assessment process managed by Workforce Research Group, which operates top workplace programs across the nation. The selection process included a thorough evaluation of both employer policies and benefits, as well as feedback from employees through an anonymous engagement survey.
The companies were honored at the Colorado Chamber’s Executive Connections Reception this evening, where the winner rankings were announced.
