SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Potratz was recently ranked on Entrepreneur magazine’s Top Company Cultures list, a comprehensive ranking of U.S.-based businesses exhibiting high-performance cultures created in partnership with employee engagement platform and service provider Energage. The Top Company Cultures list has placed Potratz at 57 in the small companies category. Potratz was recognized for creating an exceptional culture that drives employee engagement, exceeds employee expectations, and directly impacts company success.

“By recognizing the creative opportunities available when working collaboratively and communicating openly, Potratz is able to provide our clients with the utmost satisfaction — as well our its employees,” said Paul Potratz, the company’s founder. “We’re so proud to be named to this year’s list, and we plan on maintaining the company culture we’ve cultivated. Thank you for your recognition to Entrepreneur magazine.”

“Great company cultures don’t happen by accident. They happen because leaders understand how to create excellent working environments, and how to make everyone share the same mission,” said Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “Our 2018 Top Company Cultures list is a great celebration of companies that are doing it right, and should serve as inspiration for everyone who leads a team.”

The full list, presenting a total of 150 companies categorized as small, midsize or large companies is available on Entrepreneur.com.

“Becoming a Top Company Cultures winner isn’t something an organization can buy,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “It’s an achievement organizations have to work for. Based on our decade of research, we have come to view workplace culture is the only remaining sustainable competitive business advantage. Great strategies can be copied, but culture cannot.”
