Press Release - For Immediate Release
KVS Named Among Best Places to Work in WNY for Second Year Williamsville, NY- April 11, 2006 - For the second year in a row, Town of Amherst-based KVS Information Systems, Inc. has been named as one of the "Best Places to Work in Western New York" by Business First newspaper. At a recent award ceremony at the Statler Towers, KVS was cited as a finalist in the medium size category, which includes companies employing between 21 and 50 people. The company was one of 21 in its category to make it through the qualifying process. To qualify, companies had to have a high percentage of employees complete a 40-page online survey. The anonymous surveys included questions regarding individual contribution, manager effectiveness, retention risk, trust with co-workers, and team effectiveness, to name a few. Quantum Market Research of Wichita, Kansas, which administered the survey, has found employee engagement to be an accurate measure of how a company rates as a place to work, and designed the questions to measure just that. Responses were then analyzed by Quantum and each company's final score is an indication of how engaged their employees feel in their jobs. Stand-out comments on the surveys were read at the ceremony before an award certificate was presented. A KVS employee quoted wrote, "KVS is a family-friendly employer which is really appreciated by the employees. Several employees have been permitted to adjust their work schedule to allow for childcare issues." Another employee stated, "Management truly has an open-door policy and is always willing to discuss and try to solve any employee problems that arise." The company was also honored in the 2005 Business First "Best Places" issue. Currently, KVS has 46 employees, with 14 of them having been employed for 10 years or more. About KVS KVS Information Systems, Inc., a leading provider of municipal software solutions since 1969, is located in Williamsville, NY, with a regional office in Ohio.
