Glass Doctor Parent Company Earns Best Workplace Award

The Dwyer Group, parent company of Glass Doctor, is one of 75 companies to be honored among the Best Companies to Work for in Texas, and will be featured in the February 2010 issue of Texas Monthly. This is the third consecutive year The Dwyer Group has been honored.

The survey and awards program recognizes and honors the best employers in Texas, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. Companies were judged on their benefits, leadership programs, corporate culture, interviews with company employees and more. The ranking is sponsored by the Texas Association of Business (TAC), the Texas State Council of the Society of Human Resource Management (TSC-SHRM) and the Best Companies Group.

Dina Dwyer-Owens, chairwoman and CEO of The Dwyer Group, called it a fitting achievement as she announced the award at the company's 15th annual Founder’s Day on Oct. 30.

“There’s no better way to share this news than on Founder’s Day when we embrace the dream of the late Don Dwyer who established our company,” Dwyer-Owens said. “His mission was to help all of those he touched to lead happier, more successful lives. And this award is proof that we continue to champion that same idea by creating a great workplace that truly values its people.”

The Dwyer Group associates celebrated the news by participating in Founder’s Day events at the Hog Creek Ice House in Waco, including an obstacle course, tug-of-war, games, charitable gifts, crafts, and a motivational seminar by Dwyer-Owens called “Managing the Balancing Act: How to feel fulfilled in your personal and professional lives.”

“We would not be the strong company we are today without our Code of Values and our belief that we are only as good as the people who represent us,” Dwyer-Owens added. “We work very hard at what we do, but we also make sure that we’re having fun in the process.”
