Probus OneTouch Honored as a Star Tribune Top Workplace 2012

June 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Probus OneTouch has been named one of the Top 100 Workplaces in Minnesota based on an employee-based survey project from the Star Tribune. The Star Tribune Top Workplaces special section was published in the Star Tribune on Sunday, June 17. The report can also be found at StarTribune.com/topworkplaces2012.

Produced by the same team that compiles the 21-year-old Star Tribune 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Minnesota, Top Workplaces recognizes the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions about company leadership, communication, career opportunities, workplace environment, managerial skills, pay and benefits. The analysis included responses from nearly 71,200 employees at Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations.

The rankings in the Star Tribune Top 100 Workplaces are based on survey information collected by WorkplaceDynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention. Probus OneTouch was ranked #36 on the small company list.    

Employees were invited to provide feedback on their experience working at the company. One Probus employee commented, "We love our potlucks; sharing a meal together helps us build lasting friendships. Plus sometimes, when the weather is nice we get to work outside on our laptops! What's not to like?"

To qualify for the Star Tribune Top Workplaces, a company must have more than 50 employees in Minnesota. Over 1,360 companies were invited to participate. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.

Star Tribune Publisher Michael J. Klingensmith said, “The companies in the
Star Tribune Top 100 Workplaces deserve high praise for creating the very best work environments in the state of Minnesota. My congratulations to each of these exceptional companies.”  

Probus OneTouch currently owns and operates six e-commerce stores, with products sold across multiple online channels, and a local outlet store based out of the company's warehouse in Plymouth, Minnesota. Probus has also launched a new social media services division, called SNAP agency, that leverages the company's knowledge of the online marketplace.
