SecurAlarm Systems, the premier security integrator in the West Michigan market, is pleased to announce that they have been named one of West Michigan’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to work for.

It takes clear commitment to quality human resources initiatives to be named “West Michigan’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For,” which is a designation that hundreds of companies vie for each year. 
As an organization, SecurAlarm Systems has continually strived to be both innovative and “best in class” in not only the products and services they provide to their external clients, but with the policies and practices they have put into place for their internal clients….their employees.  This, coupled with their “best in class” team, helped them earn a spot on the list for 2011.

An independent research firm evaluates all entries and assesses nominated companies on a number of key measures in categories that include Communication, Community Initiatives, Compensation and Benefits, Diversity and Multiculturalism, Employee Education and Development, Employee Engagement and Commitment, Recognition and Retention, Recruitment and Selection, Small Business and Work-Life Balance.   
“This year’s 101 award recipients stand out from most businesses in that they have exceeded traditional human resource practices to recruit, develop, motivate and retain their employees. They acknowledge the value their employees have on affecting the success of their company,” said Jennifer Kluge, MBPA chief operating officer and executive vice president. “We are very impressed by the commitment that they have demonstrated to their employees.”

Honorees will be celebrated at the human resources symposium and awards program on May 5th at the Pinnacle Center in Hudsonville.

Grand Rapids, MI, United States, 07/19/2010 - SecurAlarm Systems, Inc. has been selected in the SDM Magazine 15th Annual Top Systems Integrators list.

SecurAlarm Systems, Inc. has been selected by SDM Magazine as one of the top Systems Integrators in the United States.
According to SDM Magazine, fewer than 20 security integration firms operate globally or nationally. The majority of integrators are regional businesses for a defined geographical area. SecurAlarm Systems Inc. excels in security integration for the Mid-Western United States.

The current economy has affected the security integration industry with many postponed and canceled projects, fierce competition, too much supply and not enough demand. The top integrators have taken unique strategies to approach the current security environment and in many cases, increase revenues for 2009.

The top 100 security system integrators started approximately 71,000 security projects in 2009, which is an increase of 18,000 projects from 2008. These projects represent a 3 percent growth rate and $8.08 billion in annual revenue.
