The Phoenix Business Journal and BestCompaniesAZ, co-founders of the “Best Places to Work” list, announced last week that Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino Resort has been named to the 2008 list in the large-sized category.
The “Best Places to Work” list, which was started in 2003, recognizes Valley companies who, through a third party administered employee survey, rank their respective companies as being the best places to work. The areas surveyed are varied parts of employee life, including workplace environment, leadership direction, culture and management practices.
Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino was acknowledged for creating an enjoyable corporate culture and work environment that fosters personal and professional growth for its employees. “We are excited to rank # 2 on the “Best Place to Work” in the Valley list this year. Making the list is truly an honor that undoubtedly provides all of our employees with a sense of pride,” said Geoff Andres, VP and General Manager.
Winners were announced at the “Best Places to Work” Luncheon, Dec.11 at the Arizona Biltmore, and they will be featured on an exclusive website for only valley “Best Places to Work” – For complete details visit www.BestCompaniesAZ.com.
