For the second year in a row, the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) placed in the Top 10 Best Places to Work, an annual contest conducted by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Results of the contest were announced during an awards ceremony held in the Oceans Ballroom at the Georgia Aquarium. Approximately 300 companies were nominated overall—in small, medium and large business categories. The Alpharetta CVB placed as the sixth Best Place to Work in Atlanta out of 110 companies in the Small Business category. Companies were selected through an analysis by Quantum Research which looked at survey results across ten themes such as team effectiveness, people practices and satisfaction with current role.

“It is truly an honor to win this very special award because it represents the organizations greatest asset—the people who work there,” said Janet Rodgers, President and CEO of the Alpharetta CVB.

The Bureau continues to place in the Top 10 Best Places to Work in Atlanta because the organization is comprised of dedicated staff, all of whom play a vital role in the function and vibrancy of the organization. As the benchmark in the community for tourism and hospitality, it is essential employees exhibit a passion for tourism on a daily basis—and that’s just what you’ll find at the CVB! It’s standard philosophy that creativity equals production and with a staff of talented people who love what they do and do it well—promoting Alpharetta as a tourism destination is the number one priority.

The structure and mission of the Alpharetta CVB are simple and clear and the staff meets expectations through the use of templates, systems and processes that help maintain focus on the mission. Employees have mutual respect for one another as individuals and for one another’s position—driving everyone towards accountability for accomplishments and, in turn, making the organization great—or in this case, one of the Top 10 in Atlanta!

Employees work as a team utilizing everyone’s strengths and skills to help support overall efforts; they share knowledge and ideas making everyone stronger and better. There is the realization that there needs to be an element of fun with the job. This doesn’t mean goofing off, but rather that you can enjoy the job and be happy working for your company. The organization holds the belief that happy, healthy workers are productive. And that is why the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau continues to remain an awesome organization…in Alpharetta and beyond!
