AGS announced Wednesday its recognition as one of the 2022 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the US and Atlanta by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR). The commercial gaming supplier -which provides slot, table, and interactive products to casino operators- has received honors in the employee-nominated award consecutively since 2017.
AGS competed against more than a thousand companies that were nominated through an employee survey in both the national and Atlanta categories, the company explains. AGS was one of 139 winners nationwide and the only company in Nevada to win. Among the 102 Atlanta winners, AGS is the only gaming company named.
AGS announced this recognition through a press release, in which President and Chief Executive Officer David López reflected on what the award means to the company. “AGS is honored to be recognized once again as a Best and Brightest company. We have remained steadfast in our effort to provide a welcoming workplace and create a culture of people that care about each other.“
“It’s the 850 individual employees that make AGS a great place to work and has made it into what it is today,” the CEO noted. “This accolade is a testament to that effort, and we continue to strive to create an experience where employees feel more like family than coworkers.”
The competition aims to identify and honor organizations that focus on their operations and employee enrichment, which its organizers believe leads to an increase in productivity and financial performance. In addition to the employee survey, which is weighed heavily in scoring, winning companies are assessed by an independent research firm.
The businesses are assessed based on categories such as communication, work-life balance, employee education, diversity, recognition, retention, and more. The independent firm also reviews companies on several benchmarks related to human resource practices, ranging from employee offerings to the company’s overall commitment to employee wellness.
