“Thank you to Michael Bush and everyone here at Great Place to Work for the work you do to inspire companies and leaders to create the best workplaces in the world, and to recognize them when they do,” said Berlin. “My formula at Logistics Plus has been pretty simple. Surround yourself with good people. Treat them well. Communicate. Make work fun. If you do those things and you hire the right people, they’ll stay forever.”
In recognizing the honorees, Great Place to Work CEO Michael C. Bush said “The financial performance of these organizations and the industry leading commitment to corporate responsibility provide strong evidence that when you create a great place to work for all, it is better for business, better for people and better for the world.”
Mr. Berlin joins a 2020 awards list that includes fewer than 50 CEOs from some of the most admired companies in the world, such as American Express, Delta, DHL, Marriott, Salesforce, and Wegmans. The complete list of honorees is available here (Jim’s profile is on page 11).
