Gas South was named among the Best Places to Work in Atlanta according to an independent employee survey conducted by Workplace Dynamics and hosted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This is the first time the Cobb County business has been honored on this list.
 
According to the survey, Gas South’s practices of encouraging new ideas and communication of company decisions received the highest survey scores, earning more than 20 percent above the telecommunication and utility industry category average.
 
“I was thrilled that Gas South scored particularly well on questions related to organizational alignment, execution and communications,” said Kevin Greiner, Gas South president and CEO. “These areas have been a focus for our business operations for several years as we’ve implemented programs and policies to increase transparency in all departments and at every staffing level.  It’s comforting to know that our staff agrees and feels included in the direction we have set forth for the future of Gas South. Most importantly, these results give us a benchmark to make improvements in other areas.”
 
The survey asked Gas South employees to rate their opinions of work-related statements about employee engagement, compensation, leadership and company benefits, among others. Results were compared to response averages from all participating utility and telecommunication companies. This year, 1,400 local companies were evaluated which resulted in a list of 150 top companies in the metro Atlanta area.
