JH Specialty Receives "Best Places to Work" Honor

For the second year in a row, Chamber member JH Specialty, Inc., a full-service marketing and communications firm based in Fort Wayne, has been included in Counselor Magazine's list of the"Best Places to Work." JH Specialty ranked number 22 out of 60 U.S. companies from the advertising specialty industry that were recognized in the September 2009 issue of the magazine, known as the "voice" of the promotional products industry.

Counselor Best Places to Work honorees were selected based on an in-depth survey of employees from the companies applying for the prestigious designation. The survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, included 37 questions through which employees evaluated their experience working at the organization.

JH Specialty employees listed fun perks such as a loft equipped with a ping-pong table, putting green, dart board and pool table, along with quarterly bonuses and twice-monthly staff lunches provided by the boss. JH Specialty also ranked highly in the area of corporate culture, with staff citing multiple employee events such as holiday celebrations, pool parties and sports outings to foster a team atmosphere, and a company-paid gym membership to promote physical fitness.
