POSTMASTER: Send address changes to Oregon Business, 12570 S.W. 69th Ave., Suite 102, Portland OR 97223 EVERY AUGUST, we launch the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon survey. The process runs through late November, with hundreds of companies participating and thousands of employee surveys submitted. From that feedback, scores are generated and the final list is determined. Each year, the March issue of Oregon Business highlights the companies that make the list. Prior to publication, participating companies know they have made the list, but not where they rank. For this issue, we also spoke with several executives from companies that earned a spot on the list. In our “Ask the Execs” Q&A, they reflect on leadership, workplace culture and what it takes to build a strong organization. A few themes surfaced repeatedly in their responses: people, culture, trust and relationships. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s survey. Regardless of making the list, we hope you take advantage of the survey report opportunities available to you. The employee feedback in these reports is a valuable tool to evaluate your workplace culture.
