Winning for the second consecutive year, Shure has been awarded the distinction of being named one of the country's "2012 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For" by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR). The award recognizes companies in the United States that are dedicated to providing a business environment that enriches the lives of associates as well as their surrounding communities.

Evaluated by an independent research firm, Shure was selected because of its continued dedication to high quality human resources practices and employee enrichment programs. Additional criteria for the award included community initiatives, work-life balance, communication, employee recognition, education, diversity, and retention. Alongside an elite group of national companies, other winners include Verizon Wireless and Ask.com.

"Creating a positive work environment speaks volumes about our company culture," said Sandy LaMantia, president and CEO of Shure Incorporated. "By empowering our associates, we drive our successes forward, creating best-in-class, legendary audio products we are proud to stand by. We value each and every associate for their exceptional service and extend our utmost gratitude for their contributions that help shape Shure's continued legacy of audio innovation."

Following the NABR's administered survey among Shure associates in May 2012, the company was recognized with its fifth prestigious placement on Chicago's 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For. After this regional recognition, Shure advanced for consideration in the national awards, being named a winner in November 2012. The company also made the national list in 2011.
