Outside Magazine Names Realeflow, LLC as one of America’s Best Places to Work in 2010.
Cleveland, April 5 – Realeflow, LLC today was named to Outside magazine’s third annual “Best Places to Work” list. Realeflow was ranked No. 34 out of 50 selected companies. The full list and related story will be published in the May issue of Outside magazine, available on newsstands April 13, 2010.
Outside’s “Best Places to Work” list was compiled with the help of the Outdoor Industry Association and Best Companies Group. The year-long selection process began with an outreach effort that identified a wide range of non-profit and for-profit organizations with at least 15 employees working in the United States. Participating companies were then sent confidential employee-satisfaction surveys and employer-questionnaires to collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs.
All of the results were analyzed by Best Companies Group experts, who selected the 50 companies that strive to enhance their employees’ enjoyment of active endeavors, and environmental and social involvement.
“Realeflow is about improving quality of life – and not just that of our customers, but of our employees too” said Greg Clement, Realeflow CEO. “When the whole company can get excited about the mission of our business and the goals we’ve set for ourselves, it’s amazing what kind of impact you can have on the community”. "These 50 companies come from a vast array of industries but they're all following the same enlightened path," said Michael Roberts, Executive Editor of Outside. "They're successful businesses in a challenging economy precisely because they support a proper work-life balance. They know that benefits like on-site gyms and fitness classes, reimbursements for ski passes and sports racing fees, and support for community service efforts during work hours make their employees happier and thus more productive."
Realeflow prides itself on its relaxed work environment, monthly celebrations, annual company vacations, and community involvement. Realflow is also the parent company of Happy Blankie, a business which donates one blanket for every one sold to children’s hospitals around the country.
Clement adds that “When you can enjoy coming to work, get along with your co-workers, give back to your community and feel good about the work you’re doing…while still having time to do the things you love, it creates an environment of mutual caring – and that’s what Realeflow is all about”.
