Mims Distributing Company Wins 2013 Carolina Parent Family-Friendly 50 Award
Local Beer Distributor Honored for Its Commitment to a Healthy Family Environment.
Raleigh, NC, September 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Mims Distributing Company, a beer distributor that services a nine-county area in and around the Triangle, has announced that Carolina Parent magazine has named the company a winner in its 2013 Family-Friendly 50 Awards. Each year, Carolina Parent recognizes 50 companies and organizations for actively supporting and encouraging working parents in North Carolina. Mims Distributing received the honor in recognition of the company’s many efforts to cultivate a healthy environment and help employees achieve a positive work-life balance.
As a family-owned business established nearly 50 years ago, Mims Distributing recognizes and encourages efforts by employees to spend as much time as possible with their families while fulfilling their work responsibilities. The company places great emphasis on flexibility when it comes to family commitments and maternity leave, and the leadership team is dedicated to maintaining a happy, productive workplace where employees feel their families are welcome to visit.
Additionally, the company offers employees fun, stress-relieving activities like “Beer With The Bosses” And “Family Day.” Each quarter, employees who are celebrating their work anniversaries take time off work to enjoy “Beer With The Bosses,” a time for them to join company leaders for food and games. Held on a Saturday each autumn, ”Family Day” is filled with fun activities such as an inflatable bounce house, dessert bake-off and chili cook-off for employees and their families.
This is the 15th anniversary of the Family-Friendly 50, awarded by Carolina Parenting, which owns Carolina Parent, Charlotte Parent and Piedmont Parent. Carolina Parent revealed the entire list of 2013 Family-Friendly 50 Awards winners in its September issue.
