Selinsgrove, PA – LB Water was recently named as one of the 2013 Best Places to Work in PA. This is the 2nd consecutive year the company has been given high marks by employees and the Team Pennsylvania Foundation.
Winners were selected based on a two-part survey managed by Best Companies Group. Employers were surveyed on the benefits, policies and practices of their company, while employees were evaluated on workplace experience and satisfaction.
As an ESOP, 100% employee-owned company, LB Water is motivated to be the best through shared success. From employee-run committees for strategic direction to continual education opportunities and product innovation, LB Water puts employees at the heart of their business. The company even recognizes individual employees in categories from safety to sales at an annual awards banquet.
LB Water joined the Best Places to Work list along with the top 100 small to medium-sized businesses with 25 to 249 employees. There was also a large company category for businesses of 250 or more employees.
Best Places to Work in PA has been a celebration of jobs and the employees who provide them since 2000 and was one of the first statewide programs of its kind in the country. The award program is made possible by a joint public/private effort of Team Pennsylvania Foundation, the PA Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED), the PA State Council of SHRM and the Central Penn Business Journal.
