What makes a business a great place to work? Is it benefits, flexible hours, or a window view? It’s actually so much more than that. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch recognized well-rounded businesses in its 2020 Top Workplaces awards and it’s an honor for U.S. Paint to be among the winning small companies this year!

Job satisfaction and feeling appreciated impacts employees on an emotional level. It increases motivation, self-esteem, and even overall health and well-being. This all translates to low absenteeism and turnover rates, high productivity, and increased levels of employee engagement. When employees feel appreciated, it also has an effect on how teams operate, and ultimately, how a company performs. Basically, it’s the glue that holds us all together.
