STATERA Voted “Best Places to Work” in the Valley by The Phoenix Business Journal and BestCompaniesAZ, LLC.

December 11, 2008 — – The Phoenix Business Journal and BestCompaniesAZ, co-founders of the “Best Places to Work” list, announced today that Statera has been named to the 2008 list in the SMALL-sized category (under 100 employees) for the 3rd consecutive year.

The “Best Places to Work” list, which was started in 2003, recognizes Valley companies who, through a third party administered employee survey, rank their respective companies as being the best places to work. The areas surveyed are varied parts of employee life, including workplace environment, leadership direction, culture, and management practices.

Statera was acknowledged for creating an enjoyable corporate culture and work environment that fosters personal and professional growth for its employees. "We are excited to rank #7 on the “Best Place to Work” in the Valley list this year. For Statera, our people are our product. We sell our employee’s knowledge and experience to our clients for a fee. Our inventory goes home every night and it may not come back in the morning. Being a Best Place to Work is not an optional exercise for us. If our employees are not happy and challenged and if we are not being innovative in the way we think about them and their families, our “product” is negatively impacted. Statera will continue to drive our value proposition up for our employees and their families because we care about them and that’s good for business.” – Tim Bauer, Majority Owner & Managing Partner

Winners were announced at the “Best Places to Work” Luncheon, December 11th at the Arizona Biltmore, and they will be featured on an exclusive website for ONLY valley “Best Places to Work” – www.BestCompaniesAZ.com
