In today’s competitive business environment, it is a distinction to be named one of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in Texas. This program was designed to recognize the best employers in the state, the ones that make it a priority to create better workplaces for their employees. Best Companies Group and its partners, the Texas Association of Business and the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, are breaking ground in Texas with this program.

The list of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in Texas 2011 program—published here for the first time in order of their ranking—names companies with the best practices among Texas employers. An awards luncheon, coordinated by the Texas Association of Business, was held in Austin on January 27, 2011 recognizing each of the 100 companies. Governor Rick Perry spoke at the special ceremony.
