Working for a company you're unhappy with is a sure way to come home stressed, depressed and frustrated. But, employees at Michigan's
Kelly Services apparently don't have to deal with that, because the company just got the Happiest Companies in America award for 2012 from CareerBliss.
It's only the award's second year, but it honors employers who make outstanding efforts to create workplace happiness. Troy-based Kelly Services has a Traverse City office, among others, and hasn't received the award before.
CareerBliss is an online career community that focuses on helping people find happiness and success throughout their careers. In order to award the title of happiest company, it analyzed thousands of reviews and ratings reported by employees of each company in 2010 and 2011.
"Kelly Services is honored to be recognized by CareerBliss as one of the Happiest Companies in America," says Carl Camden, president and CEO of Kelly Services. "This award is especially meaningful to us because it's based on the feedback of both our full-time employees and our free agents--showing that when you connect talented people with meaningful work, and then champion their success, you create a company where people are excited to come to work and give their best every day."
Kelly Services is a temporary employment agency that connects those seeking work with temporary or consulting jobs matching their skills, and also employs full-time regular workers at its offices.
The company was evaluated on work-life balance, relationship with management and colleagues, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, reputation, daily workload, and employee control over daily work.
