AUSTIN, Texas—Texas Mutual Insurance Company, the state’s leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance, was recently named as one of the 2012 Best Companies to Work for in Texas. The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of Texas Monthly, the Texas Association of Business (TAB), the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management (TSC-SHRM) and Best Companies Group.
This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Texas, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2012 Best Companies to Work for in Texas list is made up of 100 companies. Texas Mutual has been named one of the Best Companies to Work for in Texas for the second consecutive year.
“Texas Mutual’s primary goal is to provide exceptional service to our customers,” said Ron Wright, president of Texas Mutual. “This wouldn’t be possible without our top notch employees. Recognizing this, another priority is being an excellent employer. This distinction is one way to ensure that we are meeting the needs of our team who are critical to the mission Texas Mutual.”
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least 15 employees working in Texas;
- Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity;
- Be a publicly or privately held business;
- Have a facility in the state of Texas; and
- Be in business a minimum of one year.
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Companies to Work for in Texas. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, systems, philosophies, practices and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation.
The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Texas and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
Texas Mutual will be recognized and honored at the Best Companies to Work for in Texas awards ceremony on Thursday, February 2, 2012 as part of the Texas Association of Business’ 2012 Annual Conference in Austin, Texas. The final rankings will also be released in a special advertising section of the February 2012 issue of Texas Monthly.
