Banesco USA, winner of the 2019 Business of the Year Award

Successful businesses are driven by more than strong performance and bottom-line results. If this year’s Business of the Year honorees are any indication, “family” plays a significant role in organizational success.

It’s not surprising. Researchers note people spend as much – or more – time at work than at any other single activity, other than sleeping.

Many of the 2019 honorees spoke to the importance of having a collegial, family-like bond across the C-Suite. They work, strategize paths and celebrate wins together. Many break bread, travel or just spend time together, whether as a regular occurrence or as a bonding event across the organization.
