Business Alabama and partner Best Companies Group announced the 2012 winners of the  Best Companies to Work for in Alabama awards on August 1 at the Birmingham Museum of Art and Meyer Vacation Rentals was ranked #3 in the state.

After an extensive survey of employees and management at participating companies, the Best Companies Group evaluated the responses based on a series of metrics and ranked the companies in three categories – small, medium and large businesses. From those responses, 18 companies were recognized for providing exceptional working environments in the state.

According to Susan Springer, director of workplace assessment for Best Companies Group, employees like open communications, the feeling that they can make suggestions and be heard, and knowing that their job makes a difference to the company and the communities in which they take part.

Chuck Steeg, Chief Operating Officer of Meyer Vacation Rentals, attributes the award to the efforts of the team and says “It is because of everyone’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to our goals that recognition such as this happens. Our team prides itself in creating great family vacation memories for guests and producing outstanding results for property owners.”
