A Fulfilled Workforce Costs Less in the End –Michelson

Named one of the “2011 Best Places to Work in Indiana” by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, the HardingPoorman Group (HPG) has the additional challenge of fostering a single culture for what is essentially six integrated companies. Continuing education is bolstered through the Indianapolis-based printer’s own HPG University and professional development program. Health and fitness are strongly encouraged. Employees receive bonuses for meeting individually established health goals, and can also sign up for personal fitness training sessions up to three times a week (while still getting paid). President and CEO David Harding also shares the wealth company-wide, paying out twice-a-year bonuses based on 12 percent of the company’s profits and an annual spoilage bonus for savings (less than 2 percent of company sales).
