Domino's recognized as one of Detroit's best companies
November 9, 2009
Domino's was once again recently chosen as one of Metropolitan Detroit's "101 Best & Brightest Companies to Work For" by the Michigan Business and Professional Association (MBPA). It is the fifth time in six years, and fourth consecutive recognition Domino's Pizza has received since participating in the "Best and Brightest" list selection.
The 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work for awards program was established to honor companies that recognized employees as their greatest asset. Winners of the annual award are companies that demonstrate imagination and conviction to create value with results through their best practices in human resource management.
"Our human resources department at Domino's Pizza is referenced as PeopleFirst in honor of our number one guiding principle, 'putting people first,'" said Patti Wilmot, Domino's executive vice president of PeopleFirst. "This principle is something we live by each and every day at Domino's. It is our goal to be the best pizza delivery company in the world and this cannot be accomplished without a first-rate team. I am extremely proud and honored to be recognized once again for our efforts."
MBPA conducts an extensive evaluation process to determine which companies earn the distinction of being named one of "Metro Detroit's Best & Brightest." Part of the evaluation included an extensive survey of Domino's recruitment and selection process, recognition and retention programs, communication, diversity and multiculturalism, employee education and development, operating data, compensation and benefits, community initiatives and work-life balance. Additionally, Domino's team members were randomly selected to complete anonymous and confidential surveys to gauge the effectiveness of the company's efforts.
