Nevada’s Best Companies to Work For
The Nevada Business Journal just released their list of “Nevada’s Best Companies” to work for, and little old Twelve Horses managed to skate on to the list. We are indeed pleased and proud to be recognized alongside the other great companies that were selected.
I think each employee has their own set of reasons for why they enjoy working at Twelve Horses. For some it would be the flexible work hours and ability to telecommute. Others would cite their appreciation for the exposure they get to new technologies and strategies for online marketing. Many take advantage of Twelve Horses wide array of community involvement, while some like to conduct business meetings over powder turns at Lake Tahoe.
Our individual values and the attributes we look for in an employer can differ, but the general consensus is that we all value an environment where we can voice unconventional ideas, experience new challenges, grow as individuals, and be given the opportunity and resources to make the world around us a better place. Twelve Horses gives us this special mix, and because of it we give back to the company, the individuals we work with, and the community around us. Here is an excerpt from the article:
As a superb example of today’s innovative technology companies, Twelve Horses has become a recognized leader in the fast-paced Web business field since its founding in 1995 in Reno by CEO David LaPlante. In the spirit of the mythical creatures for which the business is named, the company empowers its clients through interactive communication solutions. With a roster of 45 employees, Twelve Horses specializes in relationship marketing and messaging from its headquarters in Reno and offices in Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Phoenix and Tampa. Clients are scattered around the country and include small, medium-sized and Fortune 500 companies. Although she enjoys the company’s generous benefits, Leilani Schweitzer, social marketing manager, said she especially appreciates the overall corporate culture and flex scheduling. As a single mom, Schweitzer does a lot of work virtually. “There’s beauty in being able to work in my pajamas,” she said. Schweitzer also said she thrives on the creative environment that sets employees up to succeed, rather than fail. “It’s the best group I’ve ever been around because they’re all very smart and positive,” she explained. As she continues to grow along with other high-energy, creative employees, she looks forward to a long relationship with the company. “So much of our lives is spent working so it’s important to be in the best place,” she said.
