I’m thrilled to share in the celebration that my company won “Best Overall Places to Work” in Birmingham, AL. SPOC Automation, located in Trussville, AL – builds world-class artificial lift controls and well automation products for the oil and gas industry. We engineer and package “oil field ready” artificial lift automation products that increase production, lower lifting costs and save energy. Our products are engineered to help customers produce more and spend less.

New 2007 logo sealEach year the Birmingham Business Journal recognizes different size companies with the Best Places to Work award. SPOC Automation has been honored as a finalist for the 2014 Best Places to Work award in the midsize employer division by the Birmingham Business Journal.  According to the BBJ website article, the score was calculated through a third party research firm – Quantum Workplace. The research firm provided a workplace engagement survey for each company to complete for the competition in the Birmingham area.

The event was held at the Sheraton Hotel ballroom in downtown Birmingham, AL. According to the BBJ, there were three things that stuck out of the survey results…  ”it takes a healthy dose of the 3 C’s: communication, culture and chemistry.”

Sample question from the survey – What song title best sums up your company culture? Answer: “Nothin’ But a Good Time” by Poison.

“Our company is comprised of good, solid and hard-working people. We truly have a good time at work with practical jokes and family-like camaraderie,” said Bobby Mason – President of SPOC Automation. “Every day is different around our office. We bust our tails to get the job done, but we have some laughs along the way.” ​
