Profiles International Research Institute announced the results of its first-ever Profiles International America’s Most Productive Companies study, a nationwide look at the companies that get the most from their people relative to their peers. “We are seeing trends among the most productive companies in the country. They have performance-driven cultures, effective managers, and utilize their employees by placing them in the proper positions,” says Profiles International Co-Founder and CEO Jim Sirbasku. “They also encourage innovation and the exchange of ideas, which engages employees and ultimately leads to higher productivity.” Cummins tops the list followed by Lexmark, Dow, Caterpillar, and Samuel Adams.
