Torch Technologies Response
7yIt is difficult for any organization to be perfect, but we are always disappointed to hear when anyone has formed a negative opinion of our company. As an employee-owned company, we work very hard to provide our fellow employee-owners the skills and collaborative environment needed to excel. Just a few examples include working with employees each year to develop career goals, establishing programs such as our Society of Torch Emerging Professionals (STEPs), and conducting voluntary training sessions open to every employee-owner. Because we are all owners at Torch, we also encourage our employee-owners to take advantage of our open-door policy to communicate their goals and concerns with any level of management - even with our CEO. While there is always room for improvement, we believe that our approach to open communication and extensive training programs create an empowering environment for our employees. We also believe that this is one of the reasons Torch was recognized again this year by Fortune and Great Place to Work as one of the nation's best workplaces for the third consecutive year and why Torch consistently achieves one of the lowest voluntary turnover rates in our industry.
