McQueary Henry Bowles Troy Named One of the Best Companies in Texas
Dallas-based McQueary Henry Bowles Troy L.L.P. (MHBT), one of the largest privately owned insurance and risk management firms in the U.S., has secured the 27th spot on the first annual “50 Best Companies to Work for in Texas” ranking, featured in Texas Monthly magazine’s February issue.
This competition is a new initiative dedicated to finding and recognizing Texas’ best employers. MHBT will receive its honor at a gala awards luncheon on February 8 at the Capitol Marriott in Austin.
Spearheaded by Best Companies Group, in conjunction with the publishers of Texas Monthly, the Texas Association of Business (TAB) and the Society for Human Resource Management – Texas State Council (TX SHRM), the program is a multi-year initiative to motivate companies in the state of Texas to focus, measure and move their workplace environments towards excellence.
“We are extremely proud that MHBT has received this honor,” said Bill Henry, chairman and CEO of MHBT. “MHBT is a company built on integrity, and we lead by developing leaders. Being recognized as one of the ‘Best Companies to Work for in Texas’ reinforces the unparalleled culture MHBT possesses, which is based on sincerity and treating people with dignity and respect. Our people have great pride in being part of this culture, and as a result, we consistently deliver superior service and creative risk solutions to our valued clients.”
The selection process, conducted by Best Companies Group, was based on an assessment of each company’s employee policies and procedures and the results of an internal employee survey. Each participating company also received an Assessment Findings Report to enable them to develop plans and implement steps necessary to create a great workplace and continue to improve the performance of their business.
According to Best Companies Group, numerous studies show a strong correlation between profitability and creating a good place to work. The “50 Best Companies to Work for in Texas” initiative is similar to the famous Fortune magazine list. In addition to the positive effect the award has on their employee morale, employee relations and recruitment, the driving force for companies to join the program is the remarkable effect that workplace improvements can have on their bottom line. While it is no secret that Texas is a great place to live, people need to affiliate with great workplaces to demonstrate their talent.
The goal of “Best Companies to Work for in Texas” is to raise the bar among the state’s employers and create excellence and employee satisfaction in the workplace that will attract talented people for years to come. This initiative is integral for Texas to compete in both national and global arenas. Further details about the “Best Companies to Work for in Texas” can be found at www.BestCompaniesTX.com.
