DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marxent, the leader in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) for products and spaces, was recently ranked on Entrepreneur's Top Company Cultures list, a comprehensive ranking of U.S.-based businesses exhibiting high-performance cultures created in partnership with culture management software and service provider CultureIQ®. The Top Company Cultures list has placed Marxent as #8 out of 50 in the medium-sized company category. Marxent is recognized for creating an exceptional culture that drives employee engagement, exceeds employee expectations and directly impacts company success.
Marxent fosters a collaborative environment from the top-down, regularly recognizing the work of individuals at all levels of experience and encouraging employees to explore different roles and projects that match their interests. Marxent’s company culture was also recently recognized by the Dayton Business Journal, in its 2017 Best Places to Work in Dayton list.
“When we founded Marxent, my brother and I wanted to create a great place to work. We focused on hiring passionate, dedicated team players and fostering a culture of self expression and personal growth. This foundation has enabled us to produce an incredible range of augmented reality and virtual reality solutions for retailers and manufacturers. From our VR Showroom and Touchscreen Showroom solutions down to our new markerless augmented reality platform. Allowing employees to breathe, achieve and be themselves is key to building a culture of innovation,” said Beck Besecker, CEO and co-founder, Marxent. “We’re honored to have been recognized by both Entrepreneur and DBJ, as the awards really validate the idea of putting culture first. That’s always been key to our success, and is what makes Marxent a rewarding place to work.”
“Great company cultures don’t happen on their own. They’re the result of great leadership, and a conscious effort to make everyone on a team feel engaged and important,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “The honorees on our 2017 list are proof that strong cultures make even stronger companies. Entrepreneurs at all levels can draw inspiration from them.”
The full list, presenting a total of 153 companies categorized as small, medium-sized or large companies—with 25-49 employees, 50-99 employees and more than 100 employees respectively— is available on Entrepreneur.com. Core insights, behaviors and attributes that have helped to shape the high-performing cultures presented by the top companies are shared alongside practices to help other companies develop their own workplace environments.
“A high-performance culture leads not only to employee engagement but also to measurable business results,” says Greg Besner, founder and CEO of CultureIQ. “These organizations show us that great companies start with great culture.”
The rankings for all companies were determined using CultureIQ's methodology for measuring high-performance cultures. Employees at each company received a survey of multiple-choice questions and the answers were used to assess a company's strength across 10 core components of culture–collaboration, innovation and communication to name a few. The companies with the highest scores became the Top Company Culture list in ranking order. To be considered for the ranking, a company must have at least 25 employees, have been founded before Jan. 1, 2015 and be headquartered in the U.S.
