Every year, MBJ recognizes companies that know what the basics of a great workplace are: trust, leadership, transparency, fairness, caring, and communication. MBJ partnered with national research Quantum Workplace to determine Memphis’ Best Places to Work. All nominated companies participated in an anonymous employee engagement survey coordinated and conducted by Quantum Workplace. The average scores of employee questionnaires determined the rankings. The 2022 Best Places to Work finalists were honored at an in-person event at the Overton Park Shell on Sept. 13.

Here is one of the 2022 Best Places to Work, in the Small category, for companies with 21-49 employees.

Alston Construction Co.

Alston Construction has been an industry leader for more than 30 years. It has offices in 21 cities, and its client list contains recognizable names such as Kellogg’s, Best Buy, FedEx, Amazon, and Disney.
A good portion of Alston’s success can be chalked up to their skill at building a top team. That means investing in the crew professionally and personally.
