NU SKIN NAMED “BEST COMPANY TO WORK FOR” BY UTAH BUSINESS MAGAZINE
Nu Skin Demonstrates Its Difference with Unique Corporate Culture
PROVO, Utah—Dec. 9, 2009—Utah Business Magazine recognized Nu Skin Enterprises as being a “Best Company To Work For” at its annual awards luncheon today. Nu Skin was spotlighted for the uplifting, enriching culture shared by its employees, including several giving programs.
“A crucial piece of Nu Skin’s success is due to our very capable and dedicated employees,” said Blake Roney, founder and chairman of Nu Skin Enterprises board of directors. “We work hard to make sure we can attract and retain the best talent. We have extraordinary employees who genuinely want to make the world a better place.”
Utah Business magazine surveyed the state’s top public and private companies in an effort to distinguish those that recognize there is more to a job than just money. Benefits and company policies were outlined by a company representative, and employees from each company were surveyed to see if the company truly made the grade. Responses were scored and the top companies from four categories—micro, small, medium and larger—were named this year’s “Best Companies to Work For.” Nu Skin was named best company to work for in the larger company category.
As part of its mission to be a force for good throughout the world by empowering people to improve lives, Nu Skin’s “force for good” culture is a key component of employee satisfaction and includes a nonprofit foundation to improve the lives of children, a social business initiative to provide life-saving meals to malnourished children around the world, and local outreach efforts in each of its global markets. The annual Nu Skin Force for Good Day is a day of giving and celebration and an opportunity for employees to be engaged in a humanitarian project.
In 2002, the company introduced an innovative social enterprise, the Nourish the Children (NTC) initiative, which applies the rigor of successful business practices to addressing the problem of hunger in a sustainable manner. Employees have the opportunity to become a NTC ambassador by donating life-saving meals to malnourished children around the world.
“One of the remarkable things that we’ve been able to do as a company,” said Steve Lund, executive director of Nourish the Children, “is to allow people to give expression to their own yearnings to stand for something more than making money—to have what they do every day impact the lives of children who are affected by some of the world’s hardest problems.”
Other company benefits include a competitive 401K matching program with increased matching for the past two years, holiday festivities, retail discounts and much more.
