AB Mauri North America, a leader in yeast and bakery ingredient products and solutions, has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by The Post-Dispatch.

“In a city filled with outstanding employers, it’s a tremendous honor to be recognized as one of the top workplaces in the region,” said Mark Prendergast, president, AB Mauri North America. “Creating and fostering a positive work environment is a priority for us, not only in St. Louis, but across all of our locations in North America. We value our employees’ hard work and dedication, and it’s great to know they enjoy where they work.”

The Top Workplaces awards are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “To be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day – the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to employees is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.”
