Speaking on Business: O.C. Tanner

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Since pioneering the employee recognition industry nearly a century ago, O.C. Tanner has become one of the state's top employers, earning a spot on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” three times. President and CEO, Scott Sperry, joins us with more. Scott Sperry: While we’re known locally for our jewelry stores in Salt Lake City and Park City, O.C. Tanner’s impact extends worldwide. We provide industry-leading software, services, and custom awards to top global brands, including Chevron, Starbucks, Delta, and Capital One. As a nearly 1 billion dollar global leader in employee recognition and rewards, we help organizations celebrate great work, build thriving cultures, and drive meaningful business results. O.C. Tanner is a privately-owned, debt-free company — and the ownership structure ensures it will not be bought or sold. This stability allows our 1,600 employees to focus on long-term success and delivering unparalleled service. As an innovative HR technology provider, we continue to grow, investing in software solutions that enhance workplace culture. We’re also committed to giving back, donating 10 percent of profits to support the arts, education, the environment, and human needs. Learn more about enhancing your company culture, at OCTanner.com. Derek Miller: Utah's tech sector is among the nation’s fastest-growing. This includes O.C. Tanner, once not considered a tech company, now employing hundreds of software engineers to better serve its clients. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
