HUNTSVILLE — Twelve companies and individual winners were honored on May 15 at the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce’s 2013 Best Places to Work Celebration.

“Despite facing numerous challenges locally while dealing with a still-recovering economy, our business community still continued to be recognized as one of the nation’s leading places to launch, sustain and grow a business,” Kim Lewis, the Chamber’s vice chair of Small Business and Events said.

Once nominated, Quantum – a company that specializes in measuring workplace satisfaction around the country – administered a survey to employees and tabulated the results. Winners were based exclusively on the outcome of the employee surveys.

LEAN Frog was proud to be nominated in the Micro Business (10-25 Employee) Category; we were more proud that our team member, Chasitie White, received the Best Places To Work Most Valued Employee Award.

Several employees nominated Chasitie anonymously during the survey.  Chasitie White was the first LEAN Frog employee hired and she serves as the company’s Chief of Staff as well as a Lead LEAN Consultant.  Her work in developing and administering our benefits package for attracting and retaining our employees is done with professionalism, acuity and a “caring heart”.  Her growth in the areas of LEAN Six Sigma — coupled with her extensive knowledge of HR, her mastery of industry-specific software programs and her intense interest in helping our clients be more efficient — has resulted in the expanding of LEAN Frog’s business opportunities and the growth of our satisfied client base.  Chasitie is a both a good “listener” and an excellent “doer” who exemplifies the detailed work for which LEAN Frog has become recognized.

Congratulations and thank you for all your outstanding effort, Chasitie!
