Office Concepts named one of "Chicago's 101 Best & Brightest Companies to Work for"

Chicago, IL (June 1, 2006) – For the second consecutive year, Office Concepts, a Steelcase Exemplary Award Winner has been named one of “ Chicago 's 101 Best & Brightest Companies to Work for” by the National Association of Business Resources. The award is made even more significant by the organization's decision to recognize only 40 area organizations on this year's list.

The National Association of Business Resources citation says that winners of the 2006 “Best & Brightest” awards are companies that "work with imagination and conviction to create organizational value and business results through their policies and best practices. This distinction is bestowed in honor of an organization's recognition of their employees as their greatest asset."

The categories in which Office Concepts was judged include: communication, community initiatives, compensation and benefits, diversity and multiculturalism, employee education and development, employee engagement and commitment, recognition and retention, recruitment and selection, and work-life balance. Final judging was based on a detailed description of business practices as well as the results of an opinion survey issued to a random sampling of Office Concepts employees.

“This recognition from the National Association of Business Resources reaffirms our commitment to developing strong leadership, supporting a creative and diverse workforce, and providing our customers a true team approach, focused on quality and customer satisfaction, said Tom Worniak, President of Office Concepts.

Office Concepts has achieved significant success in the Chicago market, and was awarded the prestigious Steelcase Exemplary Performance Award, patterned after the Malcolm Baldridge quality award. Office Concepts has locations and distribution capabilities in Chicago and Lake Forest, Illinois.
