J&J / Invision has been named one of Georgia’s Best Places to Work by Georgia Trend magazine.

With more than 400 nominations submitted by employees from businesses, government offices, educational institutions and nonprofits, J&J / Invision was among 15 companies selected for the 2008 Honor Roll of the Best Places to Work in Georgia. Companies chosen are featured in the November 2008 issue of the magazine.

Employees highlighted J&J / Invisions’ commitment to the environment and open communication between executives and employees as reasons they believe it is one of the best companies in the state. They also noted J&J / Invision as a top employer because of profit sharing and the company’s annual Christmas dinner.

"We are very honored to be included on this list among such outstanding companies," said Jim Bethel, CEO of J&J / Invision. "We truly value our employees and are pleased to know that we are doing things as a company that they are proud to be a part of."

Any employee at any level could nominate their company by using a ballot on the magazine’s web site. The magazine’s editorial staff selected the winners from the nominations.

This is the third year Georgia Trend has asked employees for nominations. The first year the magazine published the names of all nominated companies. Starting last year, the editorial staff began selecting 15 companies for the Honor Roll annually.

J&J / Invision is based in Dalton, Georgia, where it manufactures a wide array of commercial carpets for corporate, retail, hospitality, education and healthcare. J&J / Invision products are marketed worldwide.
