There were over 700 people in attendance for Austin Business Journal’s Best Places to Work 2008 banquet today at the Hilton, and I was one of them. I was probably one of a handful of people that went just for the heck of it, since I’m currently self-employed. It was worth every dime to see and hear the great ways that local Austin companies appreciate their employees. The crowd was charged and rallying for each other, and they were full of so much energy. I, along with the people at my banquet table, felt like we were at a pep-rally!
The crowd really went nuts when the various company perk offerings were announced. For example, all 51 employees at Profit Fuel enjoy free lunch, EVERYDAY at work! I thought it was really cool that the Heart Hospital of Austin allows monthly birthday lunches with the CEO, and that those lucky folks at Texas Medical Liability Trust leave work every Friday at 1pm! Or how about those lucky folks at DPR Construction who enjoy Friday afternoon happy hours at their in-house saloon? Awesome.
Anyhow, here is how Austin stacked up this year. I’ve typed them in alphabetical order for you below.
