TQL Named A Top Workplace In Columbus, Ohio
Columbus - TQL, one of the nation's largest logistics companies, has been selected one of the Top Workplaces in Columbus, Ohio by The Columbus CEO Magazine and 10TV. Top Workplace finalists are determined solely by employee feedback gathered through an online survey conducted by an independent, third party. TQL was also recently selected as one of the Best Employers in Ohio by the Ohio Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) State Council.
"People are obviously our greatest assets and we are honored that our Columbus employees consider us an employer of choice," said Kerry Byrne, TQL executive vice president. "We do everything we can to support our employees with extensive training, industry-leading technology, rapid career advancement opportunities, and a very attractive compensation model."
The Columbus office of TQL recently expanded its operations in Columbus and moved to a new 13,000 sq. ft. facility in the Brewery District, near downtown. The office opened in 2011 with just a handful of employees who relocated from the company's Cincinnati headquarters. Today, the office employs more than 60 and plans to add an additional 100 new sales employees in the next three years.
"In terms of the skill set needed, there really is no one particular major or background that determines your success at TQL. We operate in a fast-paced industry that requires incredible discipline and an outstanding work ethic. Confidence, persistence, and resiliency – these are the traits that will make you successful in our organization," said Byrne.
TQL is responsible for arranging the transportation of consumer and industrial goods throughout North America.
