Philadelphia, PA – Almo Corporation, the nation’s leading independent distributor of
Appliances, Consumer Electronics, Pro A/V equipment and Housewares, is proud to announce that
Philly.com has again named the company a 2016 Top Workplace.
This marks the 4th consecutive year that Almo Corporation has been included
in the Mid-Size Business category Top Workplace list. The Top Workplaces lists
are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered
by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in
organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of
workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and
Connection, just to name a few.
“Just last week we celebrated our 70th Anniversary as Almo Corporation”, noted Chairman of the
Board Gene Chaiken. “We continue to be successful and have achieved our 4th consecutive year as a
Top Workplace because this is a we and us company, not an I and me company. That shows in our
culture, our longevity as a successful business, and our employee satisfaction.”
Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics explains the award; “To be a Top Workplace, organizations
must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than
the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has
proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how
it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Without this sense of connection,
an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
Founded in 1946 in Olde City Philadelphia, Almo Corporation has grown from a single storefront to a
national billion dollar organization. Almo is a 3rd generation family owned business, led today by 2nd
generation owner and company Chairman, Gene Chaiken, and 3rd generation owner Warren Chaiken,
President and CEO. Known for its logistical capabilities, Almo serves as the sales and fulfillment
