Blanchard Named #1 Workplace in San Diego

Nov. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- SAN DIEGO, CA—The Ken Blanchard Companies^® is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the #1 U-T San Diego’s Top Workplaces in the medium-size business category.

The Top Workplaces are determined based solely on employee feedback. The employee survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading research firm on organizational health and employee engagement. WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces programs with 40 major publishing partners across the United States. The number one reason employees give for working at Blanchard® is that they resonate with the organization’s values and culture. Known for having a culture that is warm, family-oriented, fun, innovative, relaxed, generous, and loving, Blanchard believes its culture is one of the things that attracts a large number of unsolicited résumés throughout the year. The company’s ability to deliver on that reputation also helps it retain its employees.

“When we first started the company, we wanted to work with people we cared about, make a difference, walk our talk, and we wanted to have fun,” shares Ken Blanchard, cofounder and Chief Spiritual Officer at Blanchard.

Kicking off its 35th anniversary this year, Blanchard’s founding associates are still actively engaged in the business and continue to instill the same kind of values, passion, and customer commitment into the whole organization.

“We are truly honored to receive the 2013 Top Workplace Award. Our passionate workforce has helped us to maintain an incredible and loyal base of clients that we strive to support every day,” said Howard Farfel, President of Blanchard. “We’re extremely proud of the work that we do with these customers. We’ve seen the results bear out that by improving their leadership capacity and helping them to create engaged and productive workplaces, we’re helping to make a real leadership difference around the globe. Our employees find it rewarding to create this level of impact and in turn feel proud to be a part of the Blanchard organization.”
