Prestwick House Recognized in List of Top
Publishing Companies to Work For in North America
Smyrna, DE, October 18, 2007 – Delaware-based,
Prestwick House, Inc., was recognized in the October issue of Book Business magazine as number 12 of
the top North American publishing companies.
“We’ve
always been committed to the belief that by making work fun, we’re able to come
up with better books and be more productive,” says General Manager Keith Bergstrom. “When you’re on the phone and the
person you’re speaking with is smiling, you can tell. I think it’s the same
with all areas of business – you can tell when people like what they’re doing,
and it makes a difference.”
Prestwick
House supports its employees with a full range of benefits ranging from health,
dental, and a 401-K to an in-office gym, tuition reimbursement, book
allowances, and a comfortable coffee-shop-like workplace.
“When I
come into work, it’s almost like coming into a local coffee shop filled with
friends,” says Prestwick House writer, Darlene Gilmore.
“The thing that helps keep things fun and interesting for us is that it’s
really satisfying to be able to help teachers. They’re doing a tough job, and
we’re proud of being able to help them teach kids to love books like we do.”
Book
Business’ first annual list of top North American publishing companies to work
for was compiled from employee nominations and survey results. Each company was
rated on factors such as pride in the company’s performance, fairness of
management, workload, and respect for the personal lives of employees.
