PHOENIX – The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com announced today that Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Avondale (LHM Dodge Ram Avondale) has been recognized on its list of 2016 Top Companies to Work for in Arizona, the only new car retailer named to the list.

“We’re proud to offer a work environment that is conducive to business as well as employee satisfaction. We strive to be the best place in town to work and the best place in town to do business, and it’s rewarding to know that employees feel engaged, valued and enjoy coming to work,” said Mike Messina, general manager, LHM Dodge Ram Avondale.

LHM Dodge Ram Avondale was recognized for its employee incentive programs, flexible work schedules and community involvement. The dealership’s holiday bonus program, employee appreciation celebrations, quarterly onsite blood drives and Saturday lunches received mention.

Companies that participated in the “Top Companies to Work for” program completed a two-part assessment process conducted by the independent workplace research firm, Best Companies Group (BCG). Part one of the process was the Employer Questionnaire, where BCG asked about benefits, HR policies and the fun things employers do for their employees. Part two was the Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey, which measured the employee experience in nine core focus areas: leadership and planning, corporate culture and communications, role satisfaction, work environment, relationship with supervisor, training, development and resources, pay and benefits and overall engagement. Using the combined data from both parts of the survey process, BCG determined the top 100 organizations that made the grade.

The 100 “Top Companies” were honored at an awards breakfast reception on June 7, 2016 at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix and will be published in a special supplement in the June 12, 2016 issue of The Arizona Republic, as well as online at topcompanies.azcentral.com and www.BestCompaniesAZ.com.
