Guaranty among Texas’ best companies

From Staff Reports

Guaranty Bank & Trust was recently named as one of the 2017 Best Companies to Work for in Texas. This makes the eighth consecutive year Guaranty has received this honor. 
The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of Texas Monthly, the Texas Association of Business (TAB), Texas Society for Human Resource Management and Best Companies Group.
This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Texas, benefiting the state’s economy, workforce and businesses.  
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
*  Have at least 15 employees working in Texas
* Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity
* Be a publicly or privately held business
* Have a facility in the state of Texas
* Be in business a minimum of 1 year
The 2017 Best Companies to Work for in Texas list is made up of 100 companies.  
In 2016, Guaranty  was No. 6 on the list in the medium employee category (100-499 U.S. employees).
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Companies to Work for in Texas. 
The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, systems, philosophies, practices, and demographics. 
This part of the process comprised of approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. 
The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. 
This part of the process was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation. 
The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. 
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Texas and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.  
The 2017 list of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in Texas and how they rank will be revealed at the TAB Best Companies to Work for in Texas Awards Dinner and Celebration on March 23 in Austin. The companies will be profiled by Texas Monthly in a special publication that will be released in conjunction with the event.
