COLUMBUS – Inc. magazine and Winning Workplaces have recognized Golden Artist Colors as one of the winners of the 2011 Top Small Company Workplaces competition – an annual recognition that highlights the nation’s best small and mid-sized company work environments – in Inc.’s June issue. The magazine features the competition’s 50 winners from 80 finalists and nearly 350 applicants.

Every year since 2003, Winning Workplaces, an Evanston, Ill.-based non-profit organization, has recognized those firms that attribute much of their business success to their commitment to exemplary people practices and outstanding workplace cultures.

“We were absolutely thrilled when we received the exciting news,” said Golden CEO Mark Golden. “We believe that if you create an environment that is inviting, supportive and encourages taking risks and learning, people will come, stay and thrive. At Golden, we’ve always believed that if the people thrive, the company will too.”
