MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - TruGreen is pleased to announce that it has been selected as among Memphis's Top Workplaces by The Commercial Appeal. The Top Workplaces are determined based solely on associate feedback. The associate survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading research firm on organizational health and employee engagement.
In the Memphis location, as in all TruGreen locations, associates work together to build a great company culture; where talented people want to be and where each associate is excited to work. Its the responsibility as a good corporate citizen and as good neighbors to give back to those in need when possible. TruGreen celebrates and rewards associate volunteerism, and partners with the organizations and individuals making a difference in backyards and neighborhoods around the country.
"It is exciting for our company to receive the Top Workplaces award, and we're truly honored. It caps off a remarkable year for our business and our first year as a stand-alone company again," said David Alexander, TruGreen President and CEO. "We believe in being a true neighbor and we empower our associates to make a difference in every community we serve. This recognition shows that our associates feel valued, appreciated and proud to work at TruGreen."
Giving back to neighborhoods, and the people that help build them, is at the core of TruGreen's business. As part of its celebrated Lawn Stars program, the 63 leading TruGreen offices are each given $2,000 each every year to donate to a charity of their choice. TruGreen local branches are on track to donating more than $125,000 to charitable organizations this year.
