DENVER, CO (April 10, 2016) – Breads of the World, LLC dba Panera Bread has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by The Denver Post. Panera Bread ranked #17 in the Large Employers category.
The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. Oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “To be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.”
“The Colorado Panera Bread family is honored to be named a Top Workplace by The Denver Post for a third time,” said Craig Flom, President, Breads of the World, LLC, franchisee of Panera Bread in Colorado. “We are proud of our Colorado team for upholding our core values of serving our customers each day with Panera Warmth and truly making our business rise.”
