Being successful in business entails much more than simply sustaining solid earnings growth.
That’s an outcome of numerous factors, such as being innovative,; making necessary investments in people, products and process; understanding your specific industry; and demonstrating the ability to make hard decisions that lead to positive outcomes.
Each year, the Business Excellence Awards of Greater Canton honor companies in the Greater Canton/Stark County region that demonstrate overall business excellence. Through a comprehensive nomination and judging process, companies are evaluated on the business’ performance in the following areas.
- Growth in employees and business
- Expansion of operations/efficiencies
- Investment in capital improvements/facility expansion
- Demonstration of outstanding customer service
- Innovation/expansion of product line(s)
- Responsiveness to business and industry challenges and adversity
- Commitment to community involvement/contributions
- Specific achievements attained in 2005
