Dr. Terry Adams calls the recognition a "vote of confidence."

(The following is a press release from the .)

The Wentzville School District has been named to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Workplaces list! The list recognizes great companies based on the survey opinions of those that matter most—the employees.

For the project, the Post-Dispatch teamed up with Workplace Dynamics, a survey company that works with dozens of other newspapers nationwide. Nearly 1,300 WSD staff members responded to the survey over a three week period in April, which accounts for more than 70 percent of District employees who took the time to provide valuable feedback.

“This vote of confidence is a powerful indicator to our parents, students, and the community that we have a top notch organization that values the work of our employees,” said Superintendent Dr. Terry Adams. “It is confirmation that our employees feel inspired, and are given the room to do great things.”

Only those employers that scored the highest locally and met national benchmarks made the list. The Post-Dispatch used the data gathered in the surveys to produce a section in the June 24th edition that included profiles of the best local employers and other stories exploring how great companies inspire their workforces to excellence.

Top Workplaces was created by WorkplaceDynamics in 2006. The program is based on the belief that “The most successful companies are the ones that employees believe in.” More than 4,000 organizations now participate in the program, and over one million employees complete a survey each year to provide feedback about their company.
