Houston, Texas (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- Astoundry, a leading full service information technology consulting company (http://www.astoundry.com), today announced the company is number one in the small business category on 100 Top Places to Work for in Texas list. The fourth annual 100 Best Places to Work program recognizes the best employers in the state, the ones who make it a priority to create better workplaces for their employees.

Astoundry, who placed second in last year's competition, earned this year's top honors for its humorous approach to employee recognition with the annual "Cheesy Employee" awards, its generous profit sharing and employee ownership, and the bonuses the company provides for teams and individuals upon the successful completion of projects. Other distinguishing programs include constant mentoring and employee growth plans, free babysitting for company events, time off for charity work, and Astoundry's willingness to fly employee's families to company events.

"We feel privileged to top the list of the Best Places to Work in Texas," said Kevin Hanratty, President and Chief Service Officer of Astoundry. "Providing exceptional service to our clients is the foundation of Astoundry as this dedication to our clients starts with an equal dedication to our employees and our community. Being named to the top of the list simply supports this dedication"

The Best Places to Work for in Texas list is selected by The Texas Association of Business, the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, and Best Companies Group and based on a two-part survey which comprises an in-depth look at the company's policies and procedures and an in-depth survey of the employees.
