CBE Named One of Iowa's Top Workplaces

CBE Companies (CBE), a global business process outsourcer (BPO), announced today it has been selected as one of Iowa’s Top Workplaces.

The Top Workplaces are based on surveys conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, a research firm focused on organizational health and employee engagement. Top Workplaces were awarded in small, mid and large size categories. In the large-sized category, CBE ranked #19.

“We’re thrilled to once again be named one of the top places to work in Iowa. At CBE, we invest in our employees to help them grow as people and get better at what they do. A culture of employee engagement is crucial to serve our clients well and we’re thankful for acknowledgement that our efforts have been noticed,” said Chad Benson, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We’re grateful to see our employees reflect CBE’s values and appreciate the opportunities we provide.”

WorkplaceDynamics conducts similar surveys in partnership with media outlets across the country. In all, the firm has conducted more than one million employee surveys and compiled top employer lists for some of the nation’s largest media outlets. In Iowa, the company teams with the Des Moines Register.

WorkplaceDynamics anonymously surveyed employees of nominated companies. The 22-question survey asked employees what is important to them and to rate their employer on a number of statements and priorities.

The surveys consistently show employees place value on feeling appreciated at work, particularly if it’s for a company they believe is headed in the right direction. On the other hand, benefits are consistently the factor that’s least related to success of top workplaces.

Deep analysis and authentication work was completed before establishing the final results. The Des Moines Register published Iowa’s Top Workplaces on Sunday, Sept. 21.
