(openPR) - Chicago, IL – July 01, 2011 – Adage Technologies, a Chicago-based web software solutions firm, announced today that it has been named to the list of “Chicago’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For.” Sponsored by the National Association for Business Resources, the award recognizes the efforts of companies to hire the best employees, and retain their talent.
“Being named as one of Chicago’s Best and Brightest Places to Work For is quite an honor,” said Roy Chomko, President of Adage Technologies. “It is a validation of our efforts to harness and develop our employee talent. We try to create an environment where they can thrive along with our company, because it’s our employees that really drive our success.”
The selection of the 2011 winning companies is a result of an independent research firm that evaluates each company’s entry in the following categories: communication, community initiatives, compensation and benefits, diversity and multiculturalism, employee education and development, employee engagement and commitment, recognition and retention, small business, recruitment and selection, and work-life balance.

They serve as a standard for other companies to work toward,” said Jennifer Kluge, NABR president. “We are proud to honor this year’s 101 winners.”
