DES PLAINES, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 29, 2007 -- Schawk, Inc. (
NYSE:
SGK), one of the
world's leading providers of knowledge-based brand image management
solutions to Fortune 500 companies, announced today that its Battle Creek
and Kalamazoo, Michigan, operations have been named one of the "101 Best
and Brightest Companies to Work For" in Western Michigan by the National
Association of Business Resources. Last year, Schawk's Chicago metro area
operations were honored by the same group.
Winners of the "101 Best and Brightest" awards are companies that work with
imagination and conviction to create organizational value and business
results through their policies and best practices in human resource
management. This distinction is bestowed in honor of a company's
recognition of their employees as their greatest asset.
"We are deeply committed to attracting and retaining the finest talent in
all areas of our business," said David A. Schawk, president and chief
executive officer. "Awards like these confirm that we offer the kind of
workplace environment in which the best and the brightest can thrive.
Attracting these high performers benefits our Company, our shareholders and
the clients we serve."
"This year's award is so meaningful to us because it speaks to the
consistency of the employee experience at Schawk," said Jennifer Erfurth,
global vice president of human resources. "Being recognized by independent
sources like the National Association of Business Resources -- especially
for different locations of our operations -- is always gratifying."
The categories in which the company was judged included: diversity and
multiculturalism, work-life balance, communication, compensation and
benefits, employee education and development, recruitment and selection,
recognition and retention, employee engagement and commitment, and
community initiatives.
This award marks the tenth time in the last six years that Schawk has been
recognized with a "Best Company" distinction. Other awards included:
