Employees Vote Twin Cities Orthopedics to Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces 2012

For the Second Year in a Row, TCO is Among the Best Places to Work in Minnesota!

Location, MN (June 18, 2012) – Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO), one of the largest orthopedic groups in the country , has been listed as one of the Star Tribune’s Top 100 Best Places to Work. TCO has 28 locations across the metro area and more than 700 employees. For this year’s honor, TCO employees were asked to participate in a survey about the company. More than 70% of the employees responded and those responses put TCO back on the coveted Star Tribune list for the second year in a row. TCO was ranked at #20 of the Top 100 Workplaces 2012. 

“This honor is not about the management, the physicians, the board, etc. – it’s about the entire team,” says Troy Simonson, Administrator of Twin Cities Orthopedics. “We are nothing without our people. People with integrity, positive attitude and inspiration have an incredible effect on the greater good.  It is a testament to the individuals and the entire team for making TCO a great place to work!”

The Star Tribune Top Workplaces special section will be published in the Star Tribune on Sunday, June 17. The report can also be found at: http://www.StarTribune.com/topworkplaces2012 .

Produced by the same team that compiles the 21-year-old Star Tribune 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Minnesota, Top Workplaces recognizes the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions about company leadership, communication, career opportunities, workplace environment, managerial skills, pay and benefits. The analysis included responses from nearly 71,200 employees at Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations.

Star Tribune Publisher Michael J. Klingensmith said, “The companies in the Star Tribune Top 100 Workplaces deserve high praise for creating the very best work environments in the state of Minnesota.” 

To qualify for the Star Tribune Top Workplaces, a company must have more than 50 employees in Minnesota. Over 1,360 companies were invited to participate. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.

The rankings in the Star Tribune Top 100 Workplaces are based on survey information collected by WorkplaceDynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention.
