Triangle Business Journal honors agency with Crown Award

RALEIGH, N.C. - Capital Strategies Inc., a strategic communication firm based in Raleigh, has received the 2003 Crown Award for Best Place to Work in the Triangle. The "Triangle" encompasses the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill region in North Carolina.

Sponsored by the Triangle Business Journal, the Crown Award honors those companies that follow the Triangle Business Journal's "Platinum Rule" of treating others as they would like to be treated.

That principle governs how Capital Strategies works with its clients and how the company rewards its 45 employees for the work they do on behalf of those clients.

The Crown Award recognized Capital Strategies' commitment to its employees. The company started a program this year called the Principle Awards in which any employee in the company may recognize another employee with a monetary gift for a big idea, smart strategy or meticulous execution on behalf of a client. Employees also receive training allowances and alternating half-days off through the summer.

Of particular interest to the competition's judges was Capital Strategies' Boomerang Society, the firm's community involvement program that encourages volunteerism among employees. Each year the Boomerang Society selects a nonprofit organization and provides 120 hours of pro-bono service to that organization. This year's organization is the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Eastern N.C.

"It feels good to be recognized for some of the things we've done to attract and keep the best and the brightest people," said Ken Eudy, CEO. "Our most valuable assets are the intellect, experience and commitment of our employees, and we do our best to let them know it."
