ForeRunner Named 13th Best Company to Work for in Colorado
In keeping with our desire to make ForeRunner a great place to work, we participated in the "Best Companies to Work for in Colorado" program. This program is designed to recognize outstanding places of employment in the state of Colorado. The process evaluated over a 100 different companies as an employee friendly workplaces.
As part of the program's process, all ForeRunner employees are asked to complete an online survey administered by third party agency ModernThink. ModernThink was solely responsible for tabulating the confidential ratings. ModernThink is a company that helps you leverage the power of people and their experiences to build a great organization. They have been in business since 2004.
It is with great excitement and pride that we wish to announce that ForeRunner has been named a finalist in the "2007 Best Companies to Work for in Colorado"; an award sponsored by the Colorado Society for Human Resource Management. ForeRunner placed 13th in the recent competition to be named the "Best Company to Work for in Colorado — 2007".
One of the four key elements of our Business Plan for the next five years is our commitment to making ForeRunner a great place to work. Progress toward such a goal is difficult to measure. This competition provides a solid measure of ForeRunner's progress toward that goal. While we are a little sad to say that we didn't place first in the competition, we finished ahead of any other company similar to ourselves. Utility Engineering and Merrick were also companies finishing in the top 20, but we finished well ahead of them both.
From the CEO, Bill Groskopf — "On a personal note, I must admit to a mixture of pride and humility on this award. I am proud that the employees of this company have achieved such a high level of teamwork and openness that allows us to place this high in the competition. At the same time, I am humbled that you, the people that I work with and am privileged to lead, think as highly of this company as you do. I view my position as the leader of this company as a trust, something that is both an honor and an obligation to serve your needs as human beings."
