Last Chance to Vote for Proforma Albrecht to be on the "Best Places to Work" list, as of Thursday we were short 25 responses to meet the minimum, please vote today.

 

Suzie and I feel the most prestigious award is when our employees and sales reps vote us to be among the Best Places to work in the industry. For the last 5 years in a row we are the ONLY distributor to be among the top 5. In 2012 YOU all voted us the #1 Best Places to work. We are among the few who actually ask our independent sales reps to participate, as we feel you are a large part of our family. Note, some of the questions do not necessarily apply and while they do not have a "not applicable" answer, any answer less than the BEST will count against us in the survey. We hope you can all give us the very best rating so we can once again be the top place to work in the industry. The award is a reflection on all of us and we are honored to be considered for the accolade once again in 2013.

We want Proforma Albrecht & Co. to be a fun, challenging and rewarding place to work. Help us realize our vision of a world-class work environment by completing the 2013 Proforma Albrecht & Co. Employee Engagement Survey. This survey is your opportunity to help shape the future of our firm and improve your own work experience in the process.

An independent firm, Quantum Workplace, Inc. is conducting the survey and tabulating results. Quantum staff members will communicate the findings in a summary report to Proforma Albrecht & Co..Quantum does not release your individual responses to our firm or anyone else. Y
our honesty is critical and appreciated.

The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete. If possible, try to finish in one session.
