Pittsburgh Employees Give Input on Employers
    

The Post-Gazette partnered with WorkplaceDynamics, a Philadelphia-based employee survey firm, to determine the region's Top Workplaces for 2013.

Most important for Pittsburgh-area employees was their ranking of this statement: "I would highly recommend working at this company to others," at 79 percent, followed by "This company motivates me to give my very best at work" (72 percent) and "I feel genuinely appreciated at this company" (71 percent).

Gallup's recent report, "The State of the American Workplace: Employee Engagement Insights for U.S. Business Leaders," notes that 30 percent of employees are engaged and inspired at work while 20 percent are actively disengaged, damaging the company's mission and bottom line and costing the U.S. up to $550 billion annually in lost productivity. The remainder are merely showing up and counting the hours until they go home.
