Hunter Douglas, Inc. was recently named as one of the “Best Places to Work in New Jersey.” The award program, created in 2005, is produced by NJBIZ and sponsored by Gibbons, P.C., Sobel & Co., LLC, Staffing Alternatives, Novo Nordisk and Atlantic Health System.

This survey and award program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in New Jersey, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The Best Places to Work in New Jersey program is made up of 50 companies split into two groups: 25 medium-sized companies (25-249 employees) and 25 large-sized companies (more than 250 employees). Hunter Douglas has been named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey in the medium category.

“We are very proud to have received this recognition,” said Betty Lou Smith, Vice President of Corporate Human Resources for Hunter Douglas. “We are dedicated to meeting the needs of our valued employees and fostering their growth, for it is our employees who ensure our success in the competitive business world.”

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the 50 Best Places to Work in New Jersey. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent 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 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

Hunter Douglas will be recognized and honored at the Best Places to Work in New Jersey evening awards ceremony on Tuesday, April 22, 2008, at the Hilton East Brunswick.
