For seven years running, Tastefully Simple has been ranked in the top 5 percent of companies nationwide in employee satisfaction, according to a recent survey.

The direct sales company, featuring more than 60 easy-to-prepare foods and gifts, employs more than 330 people at its headquarters in Alexandria.

“It is such an honor to receive this distinction for seven years running,” said Jill Blashack Strahan, Tastefully Simple founder and CEO. “We have an absolutely amazing headquarters team. They exceed our expectations every single day, and we are thrilled to watch them grow, shine and succeed.”

The nationwide survey was conducted by the Center for Values Research (CVR), an employee relations consulting group.

In fact, in the area of pride alone, 96 percent of Tastefully Simple’s employees indicated they were proud to work for the company.

“We’re always asking for feedback from our team members, and every single year, we strive to make this an even better place to work and play,” said Edgar Timberlake, Tastefully Simple vice president of team relations.

CVR has conducted surveys for more than 800 corporations and nearly 1 million employees, using its capabilities to help bring the values of employees and the goals of management into systematic alignment.
