Birmingham Employers Shine on National List
In an exciting announcement for the Birmingham community, two local companies have made it onto a prestigious national list recognizing the most loved workplaces across the country. Milo’s Tea Company, a family-owned and certified women-owned business based in Bessemer, was ranked as the 3rd most loved workplace in America, while Southern Veterinary Partners (SVP), headquartered in Homewood, earned the 11th spot.
Milo’s Tea Company: A Deep Commitment to Culture
Founded with love and a focus on people-first principles, Milo’s Tea Company continues to thrive as they expand from a local tea maker to a recognized national beverage brand. The company emphasizes its motto, “People First,” highlighting that it is ingrained in every aspect of their operations. In a statement, they said, “Maintaining and growing our People First culture requires intentional work at every level of the organization to help associates feel connected to their career journey at Milo’s.”
The company’s principles revolve around creating a culture of belonging, growth, and accountability, empowering employees to reach their full potential. It’s clear that this commitment has paid off, as the company continues to experience significant growth while maintaining a strong family-oriented culture.
Southern Veterinary Partners: Caring for Pets and Their People
Just behind Milo’s, Southern Veterinary Partners also impressed those conducting national assessments. As a veterinarian-owned network, SVP operates over 420 locations in 26 states, offering veterinary care services to countless pets and pet owners. Their dedication to a supportive workplace aligns well with community values, making them another standout employer in the Birmingham area. Their approach prioritizes both the well-being of employees and the quality of care provided to animals.
The Selection Process
The selection for this esteemed recognition was a thorough one. More than 2.6 million employees from various companies were surveyed for their insights and experiences. Businesses ranging from small firms with fewer than 50 employees to large corporations with over 10,000 employees participated in this extensive evaluation. The partnering organization aimed to judge employers based on how well they foster a positive work environment and what strategies they employ to connect associates with their career paths.
