Hastings, MN (September 24, 2008) – Anderson Performance Improvement Company (APIC), the leader in behavior-based incentive and recognition programs, was named fourth of the top 13 providers of employee recognition programs in HRO Today Magazine’s “The Baker’s Dozen.”

Each year, HRO Today Magazine publishes the industry’s top incentive and recognition providers titled, “The Baker’s Dozen.” This list consists of providers who offer the entire package – plan design, staff motivation, performance tracking, rewards distribution, and recognition goals.

This year’s rankings were based on customer survey feedback data about services provided, scope and scale of services, and the quality and satisfaction with the services. The rankings and the weightings were determined statistically, and all the feedback is from customers.

HRO Today Magazine identified Anderson Performance Improvement’s most important metrics as profit increase, revenue growth, wellness financial impact, productivity, product sales, employee and customer satisfaction, first-pass resolution, product referrals, safety, and lost time prevention.

“We are excited and honored to be included in the Baker’s Dozen, especially since the rankings were determined by buyers through client surveys. This is a true testament to the confidence buyers place in our company and our ability to perform,” comments Louise Anderson, CEO and President of Anderson Performance Improvement Company.
