Employees cite family-like atmosphere, executive open door policy and recognition as positive differentiators

DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Texas Monthly magazine has released its annual list of Best Companies to Work for in Texas 2012. iProspect, a leading global digital performance agency, is pleased to announce it has been ranked second out of 38 companies in the medium-sized company category. The recognition is a testament to iProspect’s commitment to its employee training and development programs, fostering a healthy work-life balance and developing a distinct culture that enables iProspectors to contribute their best ideas. iProspect will be honored today at a luncheon in Austin amongst the 100 companies named to the list.

“At iProspect we strongly believe that our success is due to a cohesive team that takes ownership of client and company achievements”

"At iProspect we strongly believe that our success is due to a cohesive team that takes ownership of client and company achievements," said Robert Murray, global chief executive officer, iProspect. "There are probably very few places where a new feature or formula being discovered in Excel is celebrated with a beer and a few high fives. We pride ourselves on fostering a culture built on open communication and an environment where our employees are the company’s key decision makers, from who gets hired to what makes it on the free snack list."

The 100 Best Companies to Work was designed to recognize the best employers in the state. Winners were selected through a two-part survey, including an organizational overview and an in-depth employee questionnaire. The survey, analysis and list selection was conducted for Texas Monthly by Best Companies Group and its partners, the Texas Association of Business and the Society for Human Resource Management – Texas State Council.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth office, a dog-friendly policy, family-first attitude and frequent bonding events are just a few examples of how iProspect is a truly unique company. The company often hold events such as Themed Thursdays, Corn Dog Day and Gallery Night, where employees paint a canvas and then display it in the office for an evening of hanging out with co-workers, family and friends.

In their written responses to the question "What three things does your employer do for you that you love?” several “iProspectors” referred to numerous aspects of the company, including:

• “Our culture is hands-down amazing.”
• “The feeling that the executives care about each of us.”
• “The constant inspiration to be better and do better.“
