Thanks to our employees, FOS has been named one of Buffalo Business First's Best Places To Work for 2021!

Since Best Places began in 2005, hundreds of Western New York companies have appealed to their employees to get on the list of Best Places to Work. To become a Best Places to Work, employees are asked to complete an engagement survey, which was developed in 2003 by leaders in the field of employee engagement. The survey measures six key engagement categories focusing on communication, employee needs, manager effectiveness, personal engagement, team dynamic, and trust in leadership.

To gather statistically sound results companies must reach a minimum level of employee participation based on total number of employees. Companies are ranked according to their overall score which is calculated by compiling raw data from the questions on a 1-6 scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree) to find an average score that is then indexed to a 100-point scale. The total number of survey responses is factored into the overall score. Winners are chosen 100% based on the results of the survey and in essence by the employees themselves.

One survey result said, "We are led by leaders who are understanding, compassionate, and truly care about how you are doing and what they can do to help you grow within the company." To see what others had to say or to learn more about us, check out the full Business First article.
