Geneva, IL, Dec. 18, 2017 – For the 7th year in a row, FONA International, family-owned creator and manufacturer of complete flavor solutions, was named a National Best & Brightest Company to Work For by the National Association of Business Resources (NABR). FONA was also recognized as a national Best & Brightest winner for Wellness. This is the third and fourth national award FONA has received in recent months. Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work recently named the company the #44 best workplace for women in the nation (any size) and the #43 workplace overall (medium-sized). Local recognition has been racking up as well. Fortune named FONA the #1 workplace in Chicagoland, and the Chicago Tribune named FONA #8 workplace in the area. Earlier this year, FONA was also named one of Chicago’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For and took home an Elite Award for Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions.

“It truly never gets old. For seven years, we’ve had the honor to be named a national Best & Brightest Company to Work For. It’s thrilling, and I believe it’s a testament to the values-based company culture and the absolutely wonderful FONA employees,” said Tonya Hubbartt, Human Resources Director.

FONA was assessed by an independent research firm which reviewed a number of key measurements related to: compensation, benefits and employee solutions; employee enrichment, engagement and retention; employee education and development; recruitment, selection and orientation; employee achievement and recognition; communication and shared vision; diversity and inclusion; work-life balance; community initiatives; and strategic company performance.
