​Transwestern’s Houston headquarters today announced that for the sixth consecutive year it was named one of the Best Companies to Work for in Texas.  The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of TEXAS MONTHLY, the Texas Association of Business (TAB), the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management (TSC-SHRM) and Best Companies Group.

This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Texas, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses.  The 2012 Best Companies to Work for in Texas list is made up of 100 companies. Transwestern has been named one of the Best Companies to Work for in Texas.

Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Companies to Work for in Texas.  The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, systems, philosophies, practices, and demographics.  This part of the process was worth approximately 25% 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.  Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Texas and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings. 

Transwestern was recognized and honored at the Best Companies to Work for in Texas awards ceremony held in Austin in February as part of the Texas Association of Business 2012 Annual Conference.  The final rankings have been released in a special section of the February 2012 issue of Texas Monthly.
