Build-A-Bear Workshop®, the interactive entertainment retailer
of customized stuffed animals, has been named one of FORTUNE
Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” The full list and
related stories appear in the Feb. 6, 2012 issue of FORTUNE and are
now available at Fortune.com/BestCompanies.
“We are incredibly proud to be included on the FORTUNE ‘100 Best
Companies to Work For’ list for the fourth consecutive year,” said
Maxine Clark, Build-A-Bear Workshop founder and chief executive
bear. “Our associates’ spirit, dedication, hard work and commitment
have made us the world’s leading interactive retail entertainment
brand. Together, we make Build-A-Bear Workshop a great place to
work and play.”
Build-A-Bear Workshop was founded 15 years ago on a simple but
powerful idea: to create a company with heart. The company has
shared the hug of a teddy bear whenever needed in local communities
and abroad. With the help of its Guests and associates, the company
has donated more than $30 million to causes such as children’s
health and wellness, literacy and education, animals, disaster
relief, and the environment.
About the FORTUNE “100 Best Companies to Work For”
To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners
with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the
most extensive employee survey in corporate America; 280 firms
participated in this year’s survey. More than 246,000 employees at
those companies responded to a survey created by the institute, a
global research and consulting firm operating in 45 countries
around the world. Two-thirds of a company’s score is based on the
results of the institute’s Trust Index survey, which is sent
to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks
questions related to their attitudes about management’s
credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The
other third is based on responses to the institute’s Culture
Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit
programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring
practices, methods of internal communication, training,
recognition programs, and diversity efforts. After evaluations
are completed, if news about a company comes to light that may
significantly damage employees’ faith in management, we may exclude
it from the list. Any company that is at least five years old and
has more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible. For information on
