OUTSIDE MAGAZINE NAMES RESTORATION SERVICES, INC. OF OAK RIDGE AS ONE OF AMERICA’S BEST PLACES TO WORK IN 2009
Oak Ridge, TN 4/15/09 – Restoration Services Inc. (RSI) of Oak Ridge was named to Outside magazine’s (www.outsideonline.com) second annual “Best Places to Work” list. RSI was ranked No. 21 out of 30 selected companies. The full list and related story will be published in the May issue of Outside magazine, available on newsstands April 14, 2009.

Outside’s “Best Places to Work” list was compiled with the help of the Outdoor Industry Association (www.outdoorindustry.org) and Best Companies Group (www.bestcompaniesgroup.com). The year-long selection process began with an outreach effort that identified a wide range of non-profit and for-profit organizations with at least 15 employees working in the United States. Participating companies were then sent confidential employee-satisfaction surveys and employer-questionnaires to collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs. All of the results were analyzed by Best Companies Group experts, who selected the 30 companies that best enable employees to balance productivity with an active, eco-conscious lifestyle.

“This award is special because it came from the employees. It’s gratifying to see the positive energy that is a foundation of our personal and professional philosophy is carrying through as a company culture” remarked Staci Ferguson, founder and President of RSI.

“These 30 companies share a common belief: that the secret to success in any economy is empowering employees to live balanced lives and remain committed to their communities and the environment,” said Michael Roberts, Executive Editor of Outside. “Our winners know that happy workers are good for the bottom line. So even in the current financial storm, they’re offering on-site fitness classes and massage, reimbursements for gym memberships and ski passes, flexible hours, amazing travel benefits, and opportunities for on-the-clock community service.”
RSI headquartered in Oak Ridge, TN, with offices in Portsmouth, Ohio, and Paducah, Kentucky employees over 100 professionals. They encourage employees to maintain mental and physical well-being with programs that incentivize health club participation, support a family friendly work environment and promote strong community outreach.
