January 6th, 2006


Global HR Firm Watson Wyatt has ranked 1-800-GOT-JUNK? the number one company to work for in BC for the second consecutive year. This
is the first time a company has achieved this honour two years running.
Based on the Watson Wyatt employee survey, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? stood out above competitors in four key areas that focused on levels of alignment, capability, resources and motivation in an organization.
Brian Scudamore’s commitment to hiring great people and treating them well has resulted in unprecedented policies providing employees with five week vacation, full health benefits, flex time and a generous profit sharing program that pays out 25% of company profits.
Communication within the company remains second to none. Each day the entire corporate office takes part in a fast paced, 5 minute stand-up meeting called “Huddle”. The purpose is to align as a team and share good news, revenue goals and potential missing systems.
“I’ve always said a great company is all about people,” said Scudamore. “This has been my belief since founding the company in 1989, and winning this award for the second consecutive year is proof that success comes down to the people.”
Since earning the Best Company title in 2004, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has taken the concept of ‘open office’ to a new level- now running weekly Junktion Tours to show other businesses from across North America how to build a great company and a great place to work.
