Profitable and fun? you bet!

Fortune’s 100 best companies to work for hasn’t been in the recycle pile all that long and Business Week comes out with its 75 best performers. I’ve known for years that a great work environment leads to profitability, but I wanted to see if these two lists by two different magazines would help prove my case.

Only 12 companies were found on BOTH Fortune’s 100 best companies to work for and Business Week’s 75 top performers.

Drum roll please

12 companies who get it:
Adobe Systems
Cisco
EOG Resources
Goldman Sachs
Google
Intuit
Microsoft
Nordstrom
Paychex
Starbucks
Synovus Financial
Valero Energy

Google taking the number 1 spot on both lists definitely proves that happy employees are more productive and absolutely impact the bottom line.

Most notably missing is Apple which did not make the best companies to work for list, but ranked 34th in performance from Business Week. Whole Foods-5, Yahoo-44 and Marriott-89 on best companies to work for didn’t make the top performers list.
