Gaming supplier AGS announced that the National Association for Business Resources has named the company to its list of “America’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For,” for the second year in a row.
AGS is the only gaming equipment supplier to be named to the Best and Brightest list.
The company also won Atlanta’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in both 2017 and 2018, a testament to AGS’ employee-focused culture at its research and development centers in the Atlanta, Georgia metro area.
Slightly more than 500 of the 2,400 companies that submitted nominations for the 2018 Best and Brightest national award were named to the list.
“We are elated to (have been named one of) the nation’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For two years in a row and dedicate this award to our employees,” AGS President and CEO David Lopez said in a statement. “2018 was an incredible year for AGS—the company went public and is now listed on the New York Stock Exchange, (we’ve) received key approvals that are fueling our growth, and we’ve made several strategic acquisitions that are accelerating our momentum.
“Few events are as meaningful for us as this win… it underscores and recognizes our focus on having a great corporate culture… Our team loves coming to work every day, takes great pride in contributing to our shared success, and passionately believes in our mission and values.”
AGS was selected for inclusion by an independent research firm following a confidential survey of all U.S. employees that evaluated key measures in various categories, including compensation, benefits, and employee solutions; employee enrichment, engagement, and retention; employee education and development; recruitment, selection, and orientation; employee achievements and recognition; communication and shared vision; diversity and inclusion; work-life balance; community initiatives; and strategic company performance.
The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For program, sponsored by the National Association for Business Resources, identifies and honors organizations that display a commitment to excellence in operations and employee enrichment, leading to increased productivity and financial performance.
The competition scores potential winners based on regional data of company performance and a set standard across the nation. The program celebrates those companies that are making better business, creating richer lives, and building a stronger community as a whole.
