2008年1月23日消息，財富雜志于22日公布了其年度前100名最適宜工作的公司，位于Austin的NI排名第79位。這是NI連續第九次獲此殊榮。此年度調查是全國性的民意投票，主要針對企業文化質量進行評選。 NI總裁、共同創始人兼首席執行官Dr. James Truchard說：“我們成功創建了富有樂趣、挑戰的工作環境，這樣的工作環境確實改善了我們每天的生活方式。由于我們倡導不斷創新，創建具有創造力、生長力和持續改善力的環境，NI的員工在我們普遍的科學和工程理念的影響驅動下，成為了真正的具有創造力的員工。與我們的客戶一起解決一些世界性的挑戰，如全球氣候改變、能源依賴性和人口老齡化問題。這也是使我們看到未來前景所在的動力。” 當NI協同其LabVIEW圖形化設計平臺成為著名的虛擬儀器先驅時，內部程序支持了公司的信念，成熟的員工促進了NI這個團體的發展，提供發展的靈感。如LEGO、MINDSTORMS指導關系和公司內部團體關系，為員工提供自愿的機會幫助他們回歸團體。Wellness Circuit program和on-site gym鼓勵員工應用健康的生活方式，舉行一些積極的活動，如小型聚會和公司范圍內的會議，加深友情和集體意識。 NI人力資源副總裁Mark Finger說：“非常榮幸能連續九年獲此殊榮，我們成功企業文化的關鍵是許多年來我們不僅在打造我們的工作文化還在創建我們的生活環境。我們將繼續貢獻我們的熱情和力量。” [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times] National Instruments Named Among FORTUNE’s ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ List for Ninth Consecutive Year [/font] [font=times][Color=#708090]NEWS RELEASE – Jan. 23, 2008 – FORTUNE magazine yesterday released its annual ranking of the nation’s top 100 companies to work for, listing Austin-based National Instruments as number 79. This is the ninth consecutive year National Instruments has made FORTUNE’s ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ list. The annual survey polls employees from companies nationwide about the quality of their corporate cultures. “We have built a successful business with a fun, challenging work environment that is truly improving everyday life,” said Dr. James Truchard, NI president, CEO and co-founder. “With a collective focus on innovation, creativity, growth and continuous improvement, NI employees are truly inspired and driven by the impact we’re having throughout science and engineering. Together with our customers, we’re tackling some of the world’s most challenging problems such as global climate change, energy dependence and aging populations. This is what makes me look forward to coming to work every day.” While National Instruments is best known for pioneering virtual instrumentation with its LabVIEW graphical system design platform, internal programs support the company’s belief that well-rounded employees foster the NI community and provide inspiration to excel. Programs such as LEGO® MINDSTORMS® mentorships and the company’s internal community relations department provide employees with volunteer opportunities to help them give back to the community. The Wellness Circuit program and on-site gym encourage a healthy lifestyle, and activities such as deck parties and company-wide meetings foster camaraderie and a sense of community within the corporate environment. “It is an honor to be selected as one of FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For for nine consecutive years,” said Mark Finger, NI vice president of human resources. “A key to our successful corporate culture over so many years has been our employees’ commitment to both our work culture and the communities we live in. We continue to be grateful for their passion and dedication to both.”[/color][/font]
